Cirila is Greek in Origin.

Cirila is the feminine form of Cyril, derived from Greek Kyrillos, itself from kyrios “lord, master,” giving the meaning “lordly” or “belonging to the Lord.” The name passed into Latin as Cyrillus and then into many European languages, where a straightforward feminine in -a produced Cirila and related forms.

Usage is strongest in Slovenia and neighboring Slavic regions, and it also appears - though rarely - in Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking countries, reflecting the influence of Christian saints named Cyril. Veneration of St. Cyril of Alexandria and St. Cyril of Jerusalem, as well as the missionary brothers Cyril and Methodius among the Slavs, helped sustain the name’s visibility. Variant forms include Cirilla (Italian), Cyrilla (Latinized/English), and Kirilla or Kyrilla (Slavic/German), with the masculine cognates Ciril/Cyril, Kirill, Cyrille, and Cirilo. Cirila carries a dignified, ecclesiastical aura while remaining concise and approachable.
