Meaning & Story

Cynthia is a Greek name meaning 'from Mount Cynthus' on the island of Delos — the birthplace of Artemis, goddess of the moon and hunting. The name is synonymous with the moon itself and carries silvery, luminous elegance.

Cynthia carries moonlight in its name. It is the full, formal version of Cindy — classically beautiful, with a silvery lunar quality that suits a graceful female pet with pale or silver coloring, or one who seems to come alive in the evening hours. There's something timeless and slightly ethereal about Cynthia that makes it perfect for a cat who seems to orbit your life like the moon: constant, beautiful, and slightly mysterious.
