History & Origin

Cintya is a Spanish and Latin American spelling of Cynthia, keeping the classical name while fitting Spanish spelling habits. It came into United States records with Hispanic families and also appealed for its soft, familiar sound.

It appears in United States records from the middle nineteen-eighties and reached its small peak around the start of the two-thousands before easing off, always rare beside Cynthia. A woman named Cintya from that peak is in her mid-twenties today, often of Hispanic heritage.

Did you know? Cynthia began as a poetic name for the moon-goddess Artemis, born on Mount Cynthus, so Cintya still carries a quiet lunar shimmer.
