That's Cynthia

The name was invented by a Latin poet during the time of Jesus. He wrote the Odes to Cynthia, some of the earliest known love poetry. This poet wrote in the style of the Greeks and the name was originally Kynthia, meaning "from Mount Kynthus" a mountain on the island of Delos. Apollo was from Delos and he was the god of poetry. Cynthia was not the woman in the poems, she was the muse. So, in the style of the Greeks, her name is invoked at the beginning of each poem.
Cynthia is the muse for love poetry.

CYNTHIA
Gender: Feminine
Usage: English, Greek Mythology (Latinized)
Pronounced: SIN-thee-ə (English) key
Latinized form of Greek Κυνθια (Kynthia) which means "woman from Kynthos". This was an epithet of the Greek moon goddess Artemis, given because Kynthos was the mountain on Delos on which she and her twin brother Apollo were born. It was not used as a given name until the Renaissance, and it did not become common in the English-speaking world until the 19th century.
Sextus Propertius
.
This romance is devoted entirely to a female figure called Cynthia. Cynthia prima suis miserum me cepit ocellis - 'Cynthia was the first to capture with her eyes my pitiable self,' the very first line of poetry proclaims. It then goes on to say:
Till then I was free from desire's contagion. Love
Then forced me to lower my gaze of steady hauter
And trampled my head with his feet
Cynthia's exact social standing is not known. We are informed by a later writer the woman's real name was Hostia; it is speculated she may be have been a descendant of a second century BCE poet named Hostius. Cynthia is literary name with connections to Apollo, the Greek god of poetry. Quite possibly she was a courtesan. In any event, she was refined and elegant, but not entirely faithful to the relationship Propertius presumed he had with her. She courts other men, and breaks off cordial relations with Propertius quite frequently.

The most brilliant name in the history of the world. Cynthia's must be intelligent because they have to learn how to spell a difficult name at a young age. As a result, people named Cynthia inspire others, including poets, who refer to the moon as "cynthia." The male version of this name is Cynthio, but it's not very common. Cindy is a diminutive nickname that is best confined to those who are tall, in order to avoid the saccharin sweet "Cindy Brady" phenomenon.
Never was a muse as great
As Cynthia, who wandered late
And inspired the poets in the night
Who loved to walk in the moonlight.
As Cynthia, who wandered late
