History & Origin

Cyndal is best read as a modern coinage between Cyndi - a pet form of Cynthia, a Greek epithet of the moon-goddess born on Mount Cynthus - and Kendall, a surname name from Old English and Norse for a river valley. The result is an invented name carrying echoes of both.

It stayed genuinely rare, only a few dozen girls a year around its high near 1986, and reads as an of-its-era coinage rather than a traditional name. Its brisk sound has given it a small following.

Did you know? Cynthia's nickname Cyndi and the crisp surname Kendall both feed this soft two-beat name, a modern blend of a classic pet form and a fashionable '-dal' close.
