    The Story Behind Cyndy

    Cyndy is a diminutive and variant of Cynthia, which is derived from the Greek name Kynthia. Kynthia means 'from Kynthos,' referring to Mount Cynthus on the island of Delos, the birthplace of the Greek goddess Artemis (and her twin brother Apollo). Artemis was often called Cynthia or Cynthius. The name Cynthia became popular in English-speaking countries during the Renaissance, particularly in poetry, and Cyndy emerged as a more modern, informal spelling and nickname in the 20th century.
