Meaning and origin of Cinthia
Cinthia is a Spanish and Greek name that means “variant of Cynthia, from Mount Cynthus”.
Cinthia is the Spanish and Portuguese spelling of Cynthia, a name first used as an epithet of the Greek goddess Artemis, who was said to have been born on Mount Cynthus on the island of Delos. Roman poets used Cynthia as a poetic name for the moon and for Artemis's Roman counterpart Diana, and the English poets of the Renaissance revived it to honor Queen Elizabeth I. The Latin American form swaps the y for an i, a common change in Spanish spelling. In English it is said SIN-thee-uh. Cindy and Cinta are easy nicknames. The spelling quietly signals a Latin American or Iberian background.
