[lɪˈneɪ.ə]Meaning
a female given name of Swedish origin, a variant of Linn
Background Story
Linnéa or Linnea is a female given name of Swedish origin, a variant of Linn. It has two derivations, both linked to the 18th-century Swedish scientist Carl Linnaeus, who was ennobled as Carl von Linné: people have named their children in his honor, and people have named their children after the twinflower Linnaea, which was itself named to honor Linnaeus. Linnaeus's family name is derived from the Swedish word lind, indicating the linden (lime tree).
