History & Origin
Cyndy is one of the playful respellings of Cindy, itself the everyday short form of Cynthia. Cynthia comes from Greek Kynthia, 'she of Mount Kynthos', a title of Artemis born, in myth, on that Delian peak. Cindy soared as a stand-alone name in mid-century America, and stylish variants like Cyndy and Cindi followed; the spelling appears from the nineteen-forties.
Cyndy reached its high point in 1958 and faded as the whole Cindy family cooled after the sixties. It reads as a mid-century nickname-name worn by women now in their sixties; Cynthia endures as the dignified parent, while Cyndy stays firmly of its era.
