Cyndia Origin and Meaning

The name Cyndia is a girl's name.

Cyndia is a feminine name that likely evolved as a variation of Cindy, which itself is a diminutive of Cynthia. The name Cynthia originates from Greek mythology, referring to Artemis, the goddess of the moon, who was born on Mount Cynthus. The spelling with a 'y' instead of an 'i' gives the name a distinctive, slightly more formal appearance while maintaining the familiar sound. Cyndia emerged in usage primarily during the mid-20th century when creative variations of popular names became fashionable. Though never extremely common, it offers a full-name alternative to the nickname Cindy, carrying both the mythological connections and melodic quality of its root name.
