Origin and etymology of the name

Scholarly onomastic and linguistic analysis
Linguistic explanation and meaning

The name Cynthia refers to a woman originating from Mount Cynthus on the Greek island of Delos.

Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Meno je latinizovanou podobou gréckeho Kynthía (Κυνθία), ženského tvaru prídavného mena Kýnthios, teda „pochádzajúca z Kynthu“. Základom je názov vrchu Kynthos na ostrove Délos. Išlo o prímenie bohyne Artemis odkazujúce na jej mytologické rodisko; latinčina sprostredkovala podobu Cynthia.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Etymológia a antická tradícia: Oxfordský projekt Lexicon of Greek Personal Names a Collins, heslo Cynthia. Skloňovanie je aplikáciou pravidla pre ženské mená na -ia podľa vzoru ulica z Morfológie slovenského jazyka, s. 127, nie osobitne overeným heslom Cynthia. Cynti, Cyntinka a Cyntička sú možné rodinné podoby, nie doložený rebríček obľúbenosti; Cindy je slovníkovo doložená anglická domácka podoba. Konkrétne heslo v publikácii Milana Majtána nebolo priamo overené.
