Ciriacah is in Origin.

Ciriacah is a modern, anglicized elaboration of Ciriaca/Cyriaca, the feminine form of Latin Cyriacus from Greek Kyriakē/Kyriakos, built on kyrios “lord.” Its core sense is “of the Lord” or “belonging to the Lord,” the same root that gave Greek Kyriaki “Sunday” (the Lord’s Day) and Latin Dominica.

In late antiquity the name family was favored among Christians, borne by figures such as Saint Cyriaca (Dominica) of Rome, a benefactress linked to St. Lawrence, and Saint Kyriake of Nicomedia, a virgin martyr venerated in the Eastern churches. Through medieval transmission it appears as Ciriaca (Italian, Spanish), Cyriaca (Latinized), Kyriaki/Kyriake (Greek), with masculine counterparts Ciriaco/Cyriacus and French Cyriaque. Ciriacah preserves the soft “Ciri-” opening while adopting a contemporary -ah ending; rare in English-speaking records, it suits families seeking a saintly, antique-but-uncommon choice. Possible short forms include Ciri, Kiri, and Ria.
