Meaning and history
Diminutive of Cynthia, from the Greek Kynthia, "woman of Mount Kynthos," an epithet of the goddess Artemis, said to have been born on that mountain on Delos. American singer Cyndi Lauper (1953-), known for hits like "Girls Just Want to Have Fun," popularized this spelling.
Cyndi rose from #945 to #917 for girls between 1964 and 1965. Its highest annual birth count came in 1959, with 230 births.
