History & Origin
Cindra is a mid-twentieth-century American coinage that most likely fuses Cindy with Sandra or Kendra, all fashionable at the time. The result has a bright, brisk sound — the appeal of the name is its rhythm rather than any dictionary meaning.
It was always uncommon, peaking around 1956 at a few dozen girls a year and fading by the mid-nineteen-eighties. It reads as a mid-century blend and has not been part of the recent revival.
