Cymbaline Origin and Meaning

The name Cymbaline is a girl's name.

Cymbaline is an ethereal feminine name derived from the musical instrument cymbal, ultimately from the Greek 'kymbalon' meaning 'hollow vessel.' The name gained cultural recognition through Pink Floyd's 1969 song 'Cymbaline,' which likely inspired its occasional use as a personal name. With its musical origins and lyrical quality, Cymbaline carries artistic associations and a dreamy, bohemian character. Exceedingly rare as a given name, it appeals to parents with musical interests or those seeking a name with poetic resonance and uniqueness. The spelling variant Cymbeline connects to Shakespeare's play of the same name, adding literary prestige. The name's uncommon status means most bearers of Cymbaline enjoy distinctive name recognition.
