Cindie is in Origin.

Cindie is an English diminutive form most commonly linked to Cynthia and Lucinda. Cynthia comes from Greek Kynthia, an epithet of Artemis meaning "woman of Kynthos," the Delian mountain, hence associations with the moon; Lucinda is a Spanish-Portuguese elaboration of Lucia, from Latin lux "light." Less often, the name is tied to Cinderella, the literary heroine whose French source Cendrillon derives from cendre "ashes." The -ie spelling gives a softer, vintage flavor to the nickname base.

As a stand-alone given name, Cindie emerged alongside Cindy in the mid-20th century and saw modest use in the United States, Canada, and parts of Northern Europe, while Cindy achieved broad popularity across the 1950s-70s. Cindie remains uncommon today but familiar through its better-known sisters. Variants include Cindy, Cindi, Cyndi, Cyndy, and Sindy; related formal forms are Cynthia, Lucinda, and Cinderella. Meanings offered include "of Kynthos," "moon-associated," or "light," depending on the chosen root.
