History & Origin
Cyntha is a contracted spelling of Cynthia, whose Greek root Kynthia means 'from Mount Kynthos', an epithet of the moon goddess Artemis born on Delos. Where Cynthia soared at mid-century, this trimmed form stayed a footnote, read as a quicker two-beat version of the same name.
It surfaced faintly in American records and reached its slender peak in the late nineteen-sixties, when full Cynthia was near its height. A girl named Cyntha then is in her late fifties today.
