Cinzia is the Italian form of Cynthia, from Greek Kynthia (Κυνθία), an epithet of Artemis meaning "from Kynthos," the mountain on the island of Delos where Artemis and Apollo were born. By association with Artemis, the name carries lunar and purity overtones, though its strict sense is geographical ("of Mount Kynthos"). Pronounced CHEEN-tsyah in Italian, it conveys a lyrical, classical air.

In Italy the name entered steady use in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and peaked in the 1960s-70s, with bearers in film, music, and sports keeping it familiar today. International variants include English and French Cynthia, Spanish/Portuguese Cíntia and Cinthia, Polish Cyntia, and Greek Kynthia; related Italian forms include the masculine Cinzio and the affectionate Cinzietta. Diminutives such as Zia or Cinzi are sometimes heard. The name celebrates classical heritage without feeling outmoded.
