Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Cindy je anglická domácka podoba mien Cynthia a Lucinda, používaná aj samostatne. Cynthia pochádza z gréckeho Kynthia, označenia bohyne Artemidy s významom „pochádzajúca z Kynthu“, podľa vrchu na ostrove Délos. Lucinda je rozšírená podoba mena Lucia, etymologicky spájaného s latinským lux, genitív lucis, „svetlo“. Ide o dve doložené východiskové mená, nie o konkurenčné hypotézy.
