Cintia
Just about 30 women in Poland carry Cintia, so most people here will never meet one, and no girls have been given it in years. It traces back to Cynthia, a Latin name meaning "from Mount Cynthus".
Cintia Pronunciation
Cintia is pronounced CHEENT-yah (/ˈt͡ɕintja/).
What Cintia means
Where Cintia comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Cintia reached Polish through Spanish, where it settled as a spelling of Cynthia. The Latin form points back to Mount Cynthus on the island of Delos. Ancient writers gave the goddess Diana the title Cynthia because Delos was said to be her birthplace. The short meaning holds to that ground: from Mount Cynthus.
The Roman poet Propertius used Cynthia for the woman in his elegies, written near 25 BC. He kept the name literary for a long while before it passed to daughters as a given name.
In Spain the shorter Cintia took hold, and Polish borrowed that same shape. The meaning stays fixed. On a school register it sits plainly, five letters after the C, no diminutives of its own to shorten it. The name still points where it began, to a hill on Delos.
