What is the meaning of the name Cyrek ?

Cyrek is in Origin.

Cyrek is a Polish diminutive-turned-given name derived from Cyryl, the Slavic form of Greek Kyrillos, itself from kyrios, meaning “lord” or “master.” The sense is “lordly” or “of the lord.” In Poland, -ek is a common affectionate suffix, so Cyrek developed naturally as a familiar form; it also appears as a Polish surname formed from a forebear’s given name.

Usage has been shaped by the veneration of Saints Cyril and Methodius, which popularized Cyryl across Slavic lands. While historically most formal records favor Cyryl, Cyrek occurs in parish and civil sources as a home name and, more recently, as an independent choice, though still rare. Related forms include Cyryl (Polish), Cyruś (Polish pet), Cyril (English), Cyrille (French), Ciril (Slovene/Croatian), Cirilo (Spanish/Portuguese), Kirill/Kyrill (Russian/German), Kyrillos (Greek), Kiril (Bulgarian/Macedonian), and Kirylo (Ukrainian); feminine counterparts include Cyryla and Cyrilla.
