      The name Cynna is an American given name which serves as a short form of the name Cynthia. Cynthia is a Greek name that derives from the word Kynthia, meaning woman from Kynthos. In Greek mythology, Kynthos is the mountain on the island of Delos where the goddess Artemis, the Greek goddess of hunting and the moon, was born.
