==Etymology==
==Etymology==
Lindissë means "She of the Song" in [[Quenya]] (from ''[[lind]]-'' "a musical sound, song" and ''-[[issë]]'' = feminine ending). A better translation might be the female name "Melody".
''Lindissë'' is a [[Quenya]] name. Its meaning is not glossed, but Paul Strack suggests it means "Singer" and is a compound of ''[[lind|lindë]]'' ("singing", "song", "musical sound") and the feminine suffix ''[[-issë]]'' (ending in feminine names).<ref>{{webcite|author=Paul Strack|articleurl=https://www.eldamo.org/content/words/word-1239695017.html|articlename=Q.
