Lindy Hop was so named after Charles Lindbergh's flight to Paris in 1927, when the newspaper headline read: LINDY HOPS THE ATLANTIC. The dance has no hop in it. On the contrary, it is smooth and solid, and while there is a constant rhythmic 8-count pulse that you feel in your bones, there is no hopping, bopping, or prancing in the dance. Lindy Hop, also known as Jitterbug, is the authentic Afro-Euro-American Swing dance. It is an unabashedly joyful dance, with a solid, flowing style that closely reflects its music -- from the late 20's hot Jazz to the early 40's Big Bands.

This is supported by the term turning up several times in the 1920s in glossaries of hobo and tramp slang.
