Proper name [English]

IPA: /ˈlɪndɪsfɑːn/ [Received-Pronunciation], /ˈlɪndɪsfɑɹn/ [General-American]
Etymology: Uncertain. From Old English Lindisfarena. It is thought the first element refers to the Lindsey area of Lincolnshire (from Old English Lindesēġe). The second element -farne may be from Old English farena, genitive plural of fara (“traveller”). Thus a plausible translation of the full name would be, "island of the travellers to and from Lindsey". Etymology templates: {{inh|en|ang|Lindisfarena}} Old English Lindisfarena, {{inh|en|ang|farena}} Old English farena Head templates: {{en-proper noun}} Lindisfarne
  1. A tidal island off the northeast coast of England, constituting the civil parish of Holy Island in Northumberland; once an important centre of Celtic Christianity.
