==Name== The name "Lindinis" appears in the 7th-century Ravenna Cosmography. The alternative *Lendiniae is derived from two inscribed construction stones from Hadrian's Wall which refer to a detachment from the Lendinienses tribe of the Durotriges" (). The inscriptions seem to imply that the town was a separate tribal capital from the known one at Dorchester (Durnovaria). It appears to be a Latinization of the Brittonic for "swampy lake".
