History & Origin
Cyndia is a stylized cousin of Cynthia, likely shaped from the popular nickname Cyndi with a returned -ia ending. Cynthia itself is Greek, from Kynthia, an epithet of the moon-goddess Artemis tied to her birthplace on Mount Kynthos. Cyndia belongs to the postwar taste for lightly reworked classic names.
Cyndia was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year at its peak in the mid nineteen-fifties, and it lingered faintly into the late nineteen-nineties. A girl named Cyndia at that peak is in her late sixties or seventies today.
