Ciria is Latin, Spanish in Origin.

Ciria is a rare feminine given name with roots in Greek through Late Latin and Iberian usage. It traces to kyrios, “lord,” the source of Kyria/Cyria (“lady”) and of Christian names like Cyriacus and Cyriaca; the Spanish-Italian form Ciria likely developed alongside the toponym and surname found in Aragon, helping the name persist in Spain and parts of Latin America. The underlying meanings are “lady” and “belonging to the Lord,” reflecting both secular honorific and devotional senses.

Attested in late antique and medieval church records via the Cyriaca/Cyria family of names and linked to early Roman martyrs, Ciria remains uncommon today yet familiar in sound. Variants and cognates include Cyria, Kyria, Ciriaca/Cyriaca, Cirila (feminine of Cirilo/Cyril), Cyrielle (French), and the related Kyra/Kira; diminutives Ciri and Ria are natural. Note that Siria (“Syria”) is a separate etymology, though occasionally intermingled in modern registries.
