Cyndi Origin and Meaning

The name Cyndi is a girl's name.

Cyndi is a feminine name that emerged as a diminutive and alternative spelling of Cindy, which itself is a nickname for Cynthia. The name ultimately derives from Greek mythology—Cynthia was an epithet of the goddess Artemis, referring to her birthplace on Mount Cynthus. This modern spelling variation with 'y' instead of 'i' gained popularity in the mid-20th century, particularly in the 1960s and 1970s in the United States. The singer Cyndi Lauper, who rose to fame in the 1980s, helped popularize this specific spelling. The name has a friendly, approachable quality with a touch of retro charm. While less common for newborns today, Cyndi maintains cultural recognition through its association with pop culture.
