Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Vietnamské meno zo sino-vietnamskej slovnej zásoby, teda zo slov čínskeho pôvodu. Bežne sa vykladá zo znaku 靈 (linh) s významom „duch, duša; posvätný“. Doložené je aj spojenie so znakom 玲, označujúcim zvonivý zvuk nefritu. Ide o rôzne znakové východiská rovnakej podoby, nie nevyhnutne o spor o pôvod; presný význam konkrétneho mena závisí od zámeru pomenovateľa.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Význam znaku 靈 overený v Từ điển Hán Nôm; výklad mena podporuje Behind the Name. Druhé znakové východisko a regionálnu výslovnosť uvádza Wiktionary. Nesklonnosť vyplýva zo všeobecného pravidla pre ženské mená zakončené na spoluhlásku v Morfológii slovenského jazyka. Konkrétne heslo Linh v monografii Milana Majtána nebolo overené. Štyri až sedem zaužívaných slovenských zdrobnenín sa nepodarilo doložiť, preto je pole prázdne. Medzinárodné podoby označujú zachovanie pôvodného zápisu, nie samostatné domáce ekvivalenty.
