The dance known as the Lindy Hop is named after what person?

The swing-era American dance known as the Lindy Hop came to popularity around the time that aviator Charles Lindbergh made his flight across the Atlantic Ocean, becoming the world's biggest celebrity. Thus, the two were forever intertwined and the dance became named for the pilot. It was born in the African-American communities of Harlem, New York, and evolved in the following decades.
