Here is what we have found about the name "Gormlinde".
Unfortunately, it seems likely that "Gormlinde" is not an Irish name at all. The closest Irish name we have found is "Gormfhlaith" (later Anglicized "Gormley" which gives you an approximation of the pronunciation).
The element "-linde" is German in origin. It is found in many German-derived names, like Sieglinde &c, but is not found in Irish names. The element "Gorm-" is uniquely Irish, as far as we can tell.
