Cyndee Origin and Meaning

The name Cyndee is a girl's name.

Cyndee is a feminine name that originated as a nickname and alternative spelling of Cindy, which itself is a diminutive of Cynthia. Ultimately derived from Greek mythology, Cynthia was an epithet of the goddess Artemis, who was born on Mount Cynthus. The unique spelling with 'y' and double 'e' emerged during the mid-20th century when creative spellings gained popularity. Cyndee peaked in usage during the 1960s and 1970s in the United States but remains relatively uncommon today. The name carries a friendly, approachable quality with its playful ending and creates a distinctive identity while maintaining the recognizable sound of the more traditional Cindy or Cynthia.
