Cyril Origin and Meaning
The name Cyril is a girl's name meaning "lordly".
Cyril was an exclusively male name until Paul Thomas Anderson used it for Lesley Manville's character in Phantom Thread. Cyril is definitely a fresh entry in the boys-names-for-girls category, one that feels ripe for wider use.
