Cyndy Origin and Meaning

The name Cyndy is a girl's name.

Cyndy is a feminine name that developed as a diminutive form of Cynthia. Originating from Greek mythology, it refers to someone from Mount Cynthus, the birthplace of the goddess Artemis. Cyndy gained popularity as an independent given name in the United States during the mid-20th century, particularly in the 1950s and 1960s when nickname forms became fashionable as formal names. The spelling variation with a 'y' instead of 'i' gives it a distinctive, playful quality that was characteristic of naming trends during that era. Though less common today than in previous decades, Cyndy maintains an approachable, friendly charm and retains associations with the Baby Boomer generation.
