Cirilio is Greek in Origin.

Cirilio is a Hispanic and Filipino given name ultimately derived from Greek Kyrillos, a diminutive of kyrios "lord." Through the Latinized Cyrillus and the Iberian form Cirilo, the -io ending likely reflects regional spelling and occasional Italian influence from Cirillo. The core meaning is "lordly" or "belonging to the Lord," a sense that made the name popular in Christian contexts.

It spread via revered churchmen: Cyril of Jerusalem and Cyril of Alexandria in late antiquity, and the missionary Saint Cyril (with Methodius), whose legacy includes the script later called Cyrillic. Cirilio appears sporadically in Spain, Latin America, and the Philippines, while close relatives thrive elsewhere. Variants and cognates include Cirilo (Spanish/Filipino), Cirillo (Italian), Cyril (English), Cyrille (French), Kyrillos (Greek), Ciril (Slovene/Croatian), Kiril/Kirill (Bulgarian/Russian), and Kyrylo (Ukrainian).
