Cinnamon is English in Origin.

Cinnamon is an English word name drawn from the aromatic spice. The term entered English via Middle English cinnamome/cynamome from Old French, ultimately from Latin cinnamomum and Greek kinnamomon, likely of Semitic origin (compare Hebrew qinnamon). As a given name it evokes warmth, sweetness, and rich fragrance, and even the tawny-golden color of the bark.

Used occasionally since the late 20th century, especially in the United States, Cinnamon fits the modern nature-word trend and saw a flicker of public recognition through the character Cinnamon Carter on the 1960s series Mission: Impossible. The name remains rare and typically feminine, though it is technically unisex. Informal short forms include Cinna and Mina; creative spellings such as Cynnamon also appear. Related word-names in other languages include Cannelle (French) and Canela (Spanish/Portuguese).
