Khyree appears to be a modern variant spelling of the name Kyrie, which derives from Greek 'kyrios' meaning 'lord' or 'master.' The distinctive spelling with 'Kh' and double 'e' ending represents contemporary phonetic spelling preferences that emerged in the late 20th century. The name gained modest popularity in the United States beginning in the 1990s and continued rising in the early 2000s. The term 'Kyrie eleison' ('Lord, have mercy') is significant in Christian liturgy, which may influence some families' choice of this name. The spelling variation with 'Kh' might reflect phonetic influences from various languages where this sound combination appears. As with many contemporary names, creative spelling variations allow for personalization while maintaining the original pronunciation.
