History & Origin

Kadynce is a modern respelling of Cadence, one of the music word-names that rose in American use in the two-thousands. Cadence came through Old French from Latin cadentia, from cadere, 'to fall,' because a cadence is the falling resolution that closes a musical phrase. The K- and -ynce respelling is part of a broader habit of reworking word-names into distinctive spellings (said 'KAY-dents').

It appears only in very small numbers against the commoner Cadence. Rare, musical, and modern in spelling.

Did you know? A cadence is the falling close of a musical phrase - which is why the word traces back to Latin cadere, 'to fall.'
