History & Origin

Cindie is one of the playful respellings of Cindy, the everyday short form of Cynthia, from Greek Kynthia, 'she of Mount Kynthos', a name of Artemis. When Cindy soared as a stand-alone name in mid-century America, decorative variants like Cindie, Cyndi and Cindi followed; Cindie appears in United States records from the nineteen-forties.

It reached its high point in 1957 and faded as the Cindy family cooled after the sixties. Cindie reads as a mid-century nickname-name worn by women now in their sixties; Cynthia endures as the dignified parent, while this spelling stays of its era.

Did you know? The Cynthia behind Cindie was a poetic title for the moon-goddess Artemis, born in myth on Mount Kynthos — a classical goddess tucked inside a homey mid-century nickname.
