Lyndon

Lyndon is a name of English origin, derived from the Old English words "hlid" meaning "hiding place" or "protection", and "dun" meaning "hill". It was originally used as a surname, but it has since been adopted as a given name for boys. The name Lyndon first appeared in England during the Middle Ages. It was a common surname among the Anglo-Saxon and Norman populations, and it was often associated with families who lived near hills or in areas that provided protection from invaders. Over time, the name Lyndon became popular as a given name for boys. It gained popularity in the United States during the mid-20th century, with its peak being in the 1950s and 1960s. Today, Lyndon is still used as a given name, although it is not as common as it once was. Some notable people with the name Lyndon include former US President Lyndon B. Johnson, who served from 1963 to 1969, and actor Lyndon Bostock, known for his role in the TV series "The Wire". Despite its historical significance and association with prominent figures, the name Lyndon remains relatively uncommon today.
