What was Cindy Crawford’s birth name?

Cindy Crawford’s birth name is Cynthia Ann Crawford.

Crawford was born on February 20, 1966, in DeKalb, Illinois. She studied chemical engineering at Northwestern University briefly before leaving college to pursue modeling. Her distinctive beauty mark above her upper lip became one of her most recognizable features.

During the late 1980s and 1990s, Crawford became one of the most commercially successful supermodels. She appeared on major magazine covers, worked with leading fashion photographers, and became especially associated with fashion and beauty advertising.

Her first name is the familiar short form of Cynthia, rather than a separate legal name. Crawford later expanded into television, fitness videos, business, and home furnishings. She is also the mother of models Kaia Gerber and Presley Walker Gerber.
