Cirios is Spanish in Origin.

Cirios is a rare masculine given name with roots in the Iberian Romance languages. It likely derives from Spanish and Portuguese círio, “great candle” or liturgical taper, ultimately from Latin cereus “wax candle.” In Catholic contexts, el cirio pascual/the círio pascal denotes the Paschal candle, so the name carries devotional overtones of light, renewal, and guidance. The -os ending also echoes Greek-style masculine forms, lending a classical cadence.

As a given name, Cirios has sporadic modern use, especially in Hispanophone and Lusophone communities (and occasionally in the Filipino sphere), while Cirio occurs more often as a surname in Italy and Argentina. Related or tangential forms include Cirio/Círio; the culturally adjacent Ciro (from Persian Cyrus); Italian Sirio (“Sirius”); and Ciriaco/Ciríaco, Cyriac, and Kyriakos. Possible nicknames are Ciri and Rio. Expressed meaning: “candle,” “bearer of light,” or specifically the Paschal light.
