History & Origin

Cyndie is one of several spellings of Cindy, itself a pet form of Cynthia. Cynthia is Greek — 'she from Mount Kynthos', the birthplace of Artemis on Delos — so it is a moon-goddess name; Cindy also served for Lucinda.

Given directly as a birth name, the Cyndie spelling stayed rare, cresting around 1957 in the heart of the Cindy era, then fading. It reads as a bright, informal name of that generation.

Did you know? Cindy and its spellings took off as stand-alone names in the mid-century, when the once-formal Cynthia was often skipped in favor of the friendly short form on the birth certificate.
