Cy Origin and Meaning
The name Cy is a boy's name meaning "sun".
This evocative short name is suddenly chic — it was recently chosen by Jennifer Lawrence for her baby boy. JLaw's son's name honors Cy Twombly, the influential mid-century American artist. Born Edwin Parker Twombly Jr., both Cy Twombly and his father shared a nickname after baseball player Cy Young (himself born Denton True Young).
We foresee Cy heating up in a big way, along with other Cy- names like Cypress, Cyan, and Cyra.
