Lucinda

Girl's classic name

Lucinda is a feminine given name, an elaboration of Lucy with a Latinate ending.

It gained popularity in the 17th and 18th centuries, often appearing in pastoral poetry and romantic literature as a name for idealized shepherdesses or beloved figures.

Today it remains in modest use, sometimes shortened to Lucy or Cindy: Lucinda prefers her full name.
