I ran across a womn with the name Minda. I was fascinated by it
since I never heard of it before and yet is only one letter form
each of Linda or Mindy. I have looked in several baby books but
can find no entry for Minda. I think it is a very pretty name as
well as unique. The woman is question happened to be Jewish but
I dont know if that is pertinent. I didn't get a chance to ask
her the derivation.

I believe Minda is German. I remember seeing the name in a baby
name book, and I think the book indicated it was German. My name
is Minden. I think this is also German. My family and friends
call me that, or Mindi, or Min.
On a family trip, when I was a young teenager, we passed through
a town called Minden, Nebraska. When I got home, I looked through
a world atlas for more Minden locations. I found about a dozen
in the U.S., but only one outside the country--in Germany.
My mother heard the name in the late fifties; I was born in '58.

I also have yet to meet or hear of another Minden. I sort of feel
I've got a lonely name.

In response to 84.2
I think you are very fortunate to have a unique name. I wouldn't
think of it as a lonely name. I feel unfortunate to have one of
the most common names in the country. Debbie
Although my boyfriend has had alot of fun with it. For example
Deborelli, Debraindardo and, Debbie Cakes,
