Cyrie Origin and Meaning
Cyrie is an uncommon masculine name with multiple possible origins. It may be a variation of Cyril, derived from the Greek 'kyrios' meaning 'lord' or 'master', which has been used since early Christian times. Alternatively, it could be related to Siri, a Scandinavian diminutive of Sigrid meaning 'beautiful victory', or a modern variation of Cyrus, an ancient Persian name meaning 'sun' or 'throne'. The name has a contemporary feel with its simple spelling and melodic pronunciation. Cyrie remains very rare in most English-speaking countries, making it a distinctive choice. Its soft sound combined with strong historical connections gives it an interesting balance of qualities. The name's brevity and ending with an 'ie' sound gives it a friendly, approachable quality while maintaining masculine associations.
