Cymbalina is in Origin.

Cymbalina is a modern feminine elaboration of Cymbeline, Shakespeare’s rendering of the ancient British royal name Cunobelinus. The older form likely combines Brittonic/Proto-Celtic cuno- “hound, warrior” with the theonym Belenos/Belenus “the shining one,” yielding meanings such as “hound of (the god) Belenus” or more broadly “bright warrior” or “belonging to Belenus.” The Latinate -ina ending supplies a graceful, continental feminine touch.

As a given name, Cymbalina is very rare, appearing sporadically in English-speaking records from the late 19th and 20th centuries, buoyed by renewed interest in Shakespeare; the 1969 Pink Floyd song “Cymbaline” also helped circulate a close spelling. Variants include Cymbeline (unisex), Cymbaline, Cymbelina, Cimbalina, and Cimbelina; possible short forms are Cym, Cyna, Mina, and Lina. Though unrelated etymologically to the musical “cymbal,” the visual echo lends a softly musical association that reinforces the name’s poetic, theatrical aura.
