Cintha Origin and Meaning

The name Cintha is a girl's name.

Cintha is an uncommon feminine name that likely originated as a variation of Cynthia, which derives from Kynthia, an epithet of the Greek goddess Artemis who was said to have been born on Mount Cynthus. The simplified spelling gives this classical name a fresh, streamlined appearance while maintaining its mythological connections. In some cultures, particularly Dutch, Cintha may be used as a distinct name rather than just a variant. The name carries a gentle yet exotic quality with its soft 'th' sound. While rare in most English-speaking countries, it offers parents a way to reference classical mythology while providing their daughter with a name that stands out from more common variants like Cynthia or Cindy.
