History & Origin

Cyndee is one of the many creative spellings of Cindy, the pet form of Cynthia. Cynthia comes from Kynthia, 'woman from Kynthos', a title of the Greek moon goddess Artemis. The -ee ending is a mid-century decorative flourish.

It belongs to the nineteen-sixties fashion for reinventing Cindy — Cyndi, Cyndie, Cyndee — that made the spelling itself a statement. It crested then and faded with the trend, reading today as cheerfully retro.

Did you know? Cynthia, behind Cyndee, was a poetic name for the moon goddess Artemis, born on Mount Kynthos — so this breezy nickname carries a whole classical myth.
