No.
A compound sentence has two independent clauses. Your sentence has only one subject and one verb; therefore it has only one independent clause.

To correctly identify whether a sentence is a simple, compound, complex, or compound-complex sentence, we need to understand the structure and number of independent and dependent clauses in the sentence. Here's a brief explanation of each type of sentence:
A simple sentence contains only one independent clause (a complete thought) with no dependent clauses (incomplete thoughts). It typically has a subject and a predicate.
A compound sentence consists of two or more independent clauses joined by coordinating conjunctions (such as "and," "but," "or," "so," etc.). Each independent clause could stand alone as a separate sentence.
A complex sentence contains one independent clause and at least one dependent clause (an incomplete thought). The dependent clause adds more information to the independent clause, making the sentence more complex.
A compound-complex sentence combines elements of both compound and complex sentences. It consists of two or more independent clauses and at least one dependent clause.
Based on the given sentence "My name, Cynthia, is from a Greek word for moon," we can analyze its structure:
1. There is only one independent clause: "My name, Cynthia, is from a Greek word for moon."
2. There are no coordinating conjunctions or other independent clauses present.
3. There are no dependent clauses present.
Therefore, the sentence "My name, Cynthia, is from a Greek word for moon" is a simple sentence (choice A), as it only contains one independent clause with no dependent clauses.
So, the correct identification in this case is A: simple sentence.
