Etymology of BELINDA MORE

The name "Belinda" is of uncertain etymology, meaning its origin is not definitively known. It is believed to have been coined by English dramatist Alexander Pope for his mock-heroic poem "The Rape of the Lock" (1712). In the poem, Belinda is a beautiful young woman whose lock of hair is stolen, leading to a satirical recounting of the incident. It is possible that Pope created the name by combining the elements "-bel" from "Isabella" and "-inda" from "Linda", both popular names during that time.

On the other hand, "More" is a common English surname that can have different origins. It may have derived from Old English phrases or personal names like "mor" meaning 'marsh' or "maer" meaning 'renowned.' It could also be locational, referring to a person living near a moor/marsh.
