A - Z Blogging Challenge L is for Linus
Linus While most might think that Linus was a male name, the Linus on my tree is female, with it making an appearance as a (male) middle name in a younger generation. Linus is a biblical name from the Greek name Linos, meaning flaxen. In Greek mythology, Linus is a musician who gives lessons to Hercules. When I think of the name Linus, I picture, Linus from the cartoon strip, Peanuts, with his security blanket. Famous people named Linus are very few and far between with only these two listed, Linus Pauling, US chemist. Linus Roache, UK actor.
