Cynithia Origin and Meaning

The name Cynithia is a girl's name.

Cynithia is a feminine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Cynthia, which has ancient Greek origins. The traditional Cynthia derives from Mount Kynthos on the island of Delos, birthplace of the goddess Artemis, who was sometimes called 'Cynthia.' This alternative spelling gives the classical name a unique twist while maintaining its historical roots. Though less common than the standard spelling, Cynithia would be pronounced similarly. It shares the melodious quality and mythological associations of Cynthia while offering a distinctive written form. The name suggests connections to the moon (as Artemis was a lunar goddess), wisdom, and independence. Parents might choose this spelling to personalize a traditional name while preserving its cultural heritage.
