Belinda is from the Italian bella (beautiful) + the Germanic lind (gentle, soft) — popularized by Alexander Pope's mock-epic The Rape of the Lock (1712), in which Belinda is the heroine. Her 1987 solo single "Heaven Is a Place on Earth" reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Belinda Carlisle and the Go-Go's were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2021. Belinda (born Belinda Peregrín, 1989) — Spanish-Mexican singer, songwriter, and actress; called "the Princess of Latin Pop"; her 2003 debut album was certified 9x Platinum in Mexico.
Belinda does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Belinda reduce to 2, The Peacemaker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
