Legend links the origin of the name from the well-known at the time the club "Savoy" ("Savoy Ballroom") in Harlem (one of the boroughs of New York City). All night there is a dance marathon lasted dedicated flight of Charles Lindbergh. Dancers in this marathon jumped and "flew", inspired by the music, and the next day the headlines were filled with a combination of the words "LINDY HOP!"
