History & Origin

Cindia is best understood as an elaboration of Cindy and Cynthia. Cynthia descends from the Greek Kynthia, an epithet of Artemis meaning 'from Mount Kynthos,' and Cindy is its everyday short form. Cindia fuses the two, adding a soft final syllable to the familiar sound.

It was never common, given to only about sixteen girls a year at its peak in the mid-1970s, and it faded within a generation. A girl named Cindia then is in her fifties today.

Did you know? Cynthia was a mid-century favorite, and forms like Cindy spun off from it; Cindia is one of the rarer elaborations, popular enough to appear but never common.
