Cirille is Greek in Origin.

Cirille is a rare Francophone variant of Cyrille, the French form of Cyril. It ultimately descends from Greek Kyrillos (Κύριλλος), a derivative of kyrios, “lord,” giving the name the sense of “lordly” or “belonging to the Lord.” The Latinized form is Cyrillus.

Adopted widely in Christian Europe through the cult of early saints, the name was borne by Cyril of Jerusalem and Cyril of Alexandria, as well as the 9th‑century missionary Saint Cyril, partner of Methodius and namesake of the Cyrillic script. Cirille appears sporadically in French and Belgian records as an alternative spelling to Cyrille and is occasionally used for girls, influenced by Cyrielle. Related forms and cognates include Cyrille (French), Cyril (English), Cyriel (Dutch/Flemish), Ciril (Slovene/Catalan), Kirill (Russian), Kiril (Bulgarian/Macedonian), Kyrylo (Ukrainian), Cirilo (Spanish/Portuguese), and Cirillo (Italian); feminine variants include Cyrilla and Cyrielle.
