  We investigate the nearly Gorenstein property among $d$-dimensional cyclic
quotient singularities $\Bbbk[[x_1,\dots,x_d]]^G$, where $\Bbbk$ is an
algebraically closed field and $G\subseteq{\rm GL}(d,\Bbbk)$ is a finite small
cyclic group whose order is invertible in $\Bbbk$. We prove a necessary and
sufficient condition to be nearly Gorenstein that also allows us to find
several new classes of such rings.
