Cintia is Greek, Portuguese in Origin.

Cintia is the Spanish and Portuguese form of Cynthia, from Greek Kynthía, an epithet of Artemis (Roman Diana) meaning “woman from Kynthos,” the mountain on Delos where the twins Artemis and Apollo were born. By extension the name carries lunar and chaste connotations drawn from the goddess, often interpreted as “of the moon” or “moon-bright.”

Carried into Latin as Cynthia, the name flourished in European literature - most notably in Ben Jonson’s play Cynthia’s Revels - and reemerged with English Renaissance and later Romantic taste. Cintia/Cíntia became widespread in Iberia and Latin America during the late 20th century. Common variants include Cíntia (Portuguese), Cinthia and Cynthia (orthographic English/Spanish forms), Italian Cinzia, and less frequent Sintia. Diminutives such as Cin and Cinti appear in informal use. The name balances classical elegance with modern simplicity and travels easily across Romance-language contexts.
