Browse nicknames →Legynd is a phonetic respelling of Legend, which derives from the Latin legenda meaning things to be read, itself from legere meaning to read or to gather. In medieval Latin, legenda referred to the stories of saints that were read aloud during religious services. The word evolved in Old French and Middle English to mean a story about a remarkable or remarkable event or person, and eventually to its modern sense of an exceptionally famous person or remarkable deed. The Legynd spelling gives this aspirational word a distinctive, personalized appearance as a name.
