Lindy Hop is the grand-daddy of all other swing dances such as Rock'n'Roll, Glasgow Jive, Modern Jive, French Jive (Ceroc, Leroc, Lejive), West Coast Swing and many others. The Lindy Lop is thought to get its name from famed aviator Charles Lindbergh's nickname "Lucky Lindy" and his "hop" accross the Atlantic.
