Cynthy Origin and Meaning

The name Cynthy is a girl's name.

Cynthy is a feminine name that originated as an affectionate diminutive form of Cynthia, which comes from Greek mythology as an epithet of Artemis, goddess of the moon, who was born on Mount Cynthus. While Cynthia has been a popular given name for centuries, Cynthy represents the familiar, intimate nickname that has occasionally been used as a given name in its own right. The spelling with a 'y' ending gives it a slightly playful, informal quality compared to the more classical Cynthia. Very rare as a formal given name, Cynthy carries the lunar associations and Greek heritage of its parent name while offering a more approachable, familiar feel. The name suggests warmth and friendliness while maintaining connections to its more formal, mythological origins.
