History & Origin

Cyani is a modern coinage. Behind it sits cyan, the blue-green colour word English took from Greek kyanos, 'dark blue,' the same root behind cyanotype and the flower name cornflower in some languages. Cyani itself has no documented history and is said in more than one way, so we note the uncertainty honestly (said 'sy-AH-nee').

It appears only in very small numbers in the U.S. Rare, lilting, and newly emerging.

Did you know? Cyan comes from Greek kyanos, a word for dark blue - and Cyani gives it a lilting three-beat name-shape, though the name itself is modern.
