While not as common as some other Greek-inspired names, Kynthia has a distinct and elegant sound. It has appeared in literature and popular culture, sometimes as a given name and occasionally as a surname. The pronunciation of Kynthia typically follows the Greek, with emphasis on the first syllable. Its historical and mythological ties give the name a rich background.
