Cinny is in Origin.

Cinny (pronounced SIN-ee) is an English diminutive, most often a playful variant of Cindy, itself derived from Cynthia and sometimes Lucinda. The spelling swaps the -d- in Cindy for -nn-, following a familiar -y nickname pattern in English. As an independent given name, Cinny appears sporadically in 20th-century records in the United States and United Kingdom, gaining visibility during the mid-century popularity of Cindy and related forms, but it has remained uncommon.

Meaning depends on the root: from Cynthia (Greek Kynthia, “woman of Kynthos”), it carries lunar, Artemis-linked associations; from Lucinda (from Latin lux, “light”), it suggests brightness and clarity. Contemporary parents may also read it as a cozy, spice-inspired coinage echoing “cinnamon.” Close variants include Cinnie, Cinney, and Cinni; cognate and longer forms include Cindy, Cindi, Cyndi, Cynthia, and Lucinda. Nickname potential: Cin or Cee for intimate use.
