History & Origin
Synia is best read as an original coinage. It may respell Sinia or lean on Cynthia, from Greek Kynthia β a title of Artemis, goddess of the moon, born on Mount Kynthos. No fixed dictionary meaning attaches to the exact form, so its appeal is chiefly in the gentle sound.
It was always rare, drawing a few dozen girls a year around the mid-2000s and thinning afterward. Because its origin is genuinely uncertain, Synia reads simply as a pretty, contemporary name rather than an inherited or reviving one.
