History & Origin

Sindi appears in United States records from the early 1950s, an S-spelling of the very popular Cindy. Tied to Cynthia and Lucinda, it stayed long-tail, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its high around 1994, with light use continuing into the 2010s.

A girl named Sindi at that peak would be around thirty now, one of the younger names in this tier. The mainstream Cindy has itself faded, and this spelling has not revived, though the elegant Cynthia behind it endures.

Did you know? Sindi keeps a moonlit secret: through Cindy and Cynthia it recalls Artemis, the moon goddess of Mount Cynthus.
