Cynthiana Origin and Meaning

The name Cynthiana is a girl's name.

Cynthiana is a feminine name derived from Cynthia, which comes from Greek mythology as an epithet for the goddess Artemis, who was born on Mount Cynthus. The name represents an elaborated, more ornate version of Cynthia, featuring a romantic, antique quality with its additional syllables. Cynthiana is extremely rare, never having appeared in popular naming charts. It may also be connected to the town of Cynthiana in Kentucky, named after Cynthia and Anna Harrison, daughters of an early settler. The name has a melodious, vintage charm that might appeal to parents seeking an elaborate alternative to the more common Cynthia, with similar lunar and classical associations but a more distinctive presence.
