History & Origin
Cyndel is a modern American coinage that lengthens Cyndi, the pet form of Cynthia, into a fuller name with an -el ending. Cynthia comes from the Greek 'Kynthia,' 'from Mount Kynthos,' a title of the goddess Artemis. The Cindy and Cyndi spellings peaked mid-century, and Cyndel is a later, inventive offshoot; it appears in United States records in the mid-1980s and touched its faint high around 1986.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year even at its peak, so a Cyndel from that high would be in her late thirties today. It reads as an of-its-era coinage rather than a revival, and parents drawn to it also consider Cynthia and Cyndi.
