Cydnee is English in Origin.

Cydnee is a modern American respelling of Sydney/Sidney, a given name that began as an English surname. Etymology is debated: some link it to the Norman French place-name Saint-Denis, carried to England after the Conquest; others derive it from Old English sīd “broad” + ēg “island, riverside meadow.” Consequently, the name is interpreted as “wide island/meadow” or “of Saint Denis.” The C- initial and double -ee ending reflect contemporary phonetic spellings.

In English records, Sidney was long used for men - most famously the Elizabethan poet Sir Philip Sidney - before shifting toward unisex and then largely feminine use in the 20th century. The form Sydney rose with global awareness of the Australian city (named for Lord Sydney). Cydnee appears in late-20th-century U.S. data, chiefly for girls. Related variants include Sydney, Sidney, Sydnee, Sydni, Sydnie, Cydney, and Cydnie; nicknames include Syd/Cyd.
