Sindy Origin and Meaning

The name Sindy is a girl's name.

Sindy is a feminine name that emerged as a variant spelling of Cindy, which itself is a diminutive of Cynthia. Originating from the Greek name Kynthia, it relates to Mount Kynthos on the island of Delos, birthplace of the goddess Artemis. The alternative spelling with an "S" gained notable recognition in the UK during the 1960s-1980s, partly due to the popular British fashion doll named Sindy (introduced as competition to Barbie). This spelling creates a more distinctive visual identity while maintaining the familiar pronunciation. Sindy peaked in popularity during the late 20th century but has since declined in usage. The name carries a playful, youthful quality with a touch of retro charm, appealing to parents seeking a familiar-sounding name with a slightly unconventional spelling.
