Cythia Origin and Meaning

The name Cythia is a girl's name.

Cythia appears to be a variant spelling or possible misspelling of the more common feminine name Cynthia, which derives from Greek mythology. Cynthia was an epithet of the Greek goddess Artemis, who was born on Mount Cynthus on the island of Delos. The name means "woman from Cynthus." While Cynthia gained significant popularity in the United States during the mid-20th century, peaking in the 1950s and 1960s, the Cythia variant remains extremely rare. This uncommon spelling might appeal to parents seeking a subtle twist on the classical name while maintaining its mythological connections and elegant sound. As with many variant spellings, Cythia's bearers might occasionally need to correct pronunciation or spelling.
