Lindhagen

Lindhagen is a surname of Swedish origin. It is a relatively common surname in Sweden. The name derives from a combination of two elements: "lind" referring to the linden tree (Tilia genus), and "hagen" referring to a pasture, enclosure, or garden. Thus, Lindhagen likely originally signified someone who lived near or owned a pasture or enclosed area with linden trees.

Notable people with the surname Lindhagen include:
