Kior

Invented name

Kior Origin and Meaning

The name Kior is a girl's name.

Possibly created by blending a love for K initials and an interest in designer baby names (Dior), Kior is a modern invention, first appearing in the US charts in 2017. Used for girls and boys, it might also take inspiration from the likes of Kiara, Kora, Korey, Kyaire, and Kyzer, or perhaps Lior or Malchior.

Alternatively, it may be a variation of Ka'oir, the name of Jamaican entrepreneur, Keyshia Ka'oir Davis, and her daughter with rapper Gucci Mane, Iceland Ka'oir.

Given to 46 girls and 64 boys in 2024, its meanings could include "golden" (from Dior), "maiden" (from Kora), "light" (from Lior), and "king of light" (from Melchior).
