Meaning & origin
Cyndal is a modern American coinage that first appeared in birth records in 1985. It peaked modestly the following year in 1986, with fewer than 10 births annually ever since, and has remained stable in its rarity. The name does not rank nationally, and no single state recorded notable usage. Though its etymology is uncertain, Cyndal was likely influenced by the more established name Cynthia, combined with the popular -al suffix seen in names like Kendall and Brielle. Its trajectory shows a steady but very low level of use, making it an uncommon choice for parents seeking a distinctive yet familiar-sounding name.
Cyndal is a modern coinage, likely derived from the name Cynthia, which itself comes from Greek Kynthia, an epithet of the goddess Artemis referring to Mount Kynthos. The spelling with 'y' and 'al' gives it a fashionable contemporary feel, and it first appeared in U.S. records in the 1980s.
