Cynthya is derived from Greek, meaning 'woman from Kynthos'. It's an uncommon variant of Cynthia, and both names have roots in mythology. The island of Kynthos was the birthplace of the nymph Circe, known for turning men into pigs in Homer's Odyssey. Cynthya is often associated with elegance and uniqueness.
The name Cynitha experienced significant popularity from 1959 to 1964 with the highest number of births recorded in 1960 (27 births). However, it seems to have lost favor after that period as the number of births started declining. By 1983, there were only 5 births recorded for the name Cynitha.
