ArchivesLinde
My great-grandfather came from Sweden, and this was his last name. My grandmother says that it was mangled when he came to Ellis Island, but she can't remember the original spelling. Does anyone know what the original Swedish origins of this name might have been?

Linde is a bona fide Swedish names whose origin you'll find at http://www.ancestry.com/facts/linde-name-meaning.ashx. There were many immigrants from Sweden who bore that name as you can see at http://tinyurl.com/2c8hodn. If it was shortened from something like Lindelof or Lindeman, only genealogical research will tell you.
