The Lindy Hop WAS named after Lindenburgh. By the spring of 1927, a new dance at The Savoy in Harlem, was becoming popular - simply called the Hop. "The hop was pioneered by three main characters, George Ganaway, Shorty Snowden and Big Bea, with whom the diminutive Snowden danced a comedy double-act. When the nation's newspapers and newsreels were buzzing with the story of Charles Lindbergh's pioneering solo air flight across the Atlantic, a reporter happened to ask these dancers what their unusual dance was called; apparently drawing inspiration from the news, Snowden replied "The Lindy Hop"."
