Cindie

Cindie is a feminine name that emerged as a variation of Cindy, which itself originated as a diminutive form of Cynthia. The name ultimately derives from Greek mythology - Cynthia was an epithet of the goddess Artemis, referring to Mount Cynthus on the island of Delos where she and Apollo were born. This spelling variation with 'ie' instead of 'y' peaked in popularity during the 1960s and 1970s when nickname-style given names were fashionable. The name conveys a friendly, approachable quality with its diminutive form. Today, Cindie has a distinctly vintage feel that evokes the mid-20th century. While less common than the Cindy spelling, Cindie offers a slightly more distinctive alternative while maintaining the familiar sound and cheerful associations of the more standard version.

Pronounced SIN-dee.
