Cyreniah is in Origin.

Cyreniah is a rare feminine name likely formed from Cyrene with the -iah ending familiar from Hebrew names. It blends a classical place-name with a scriptural cadence. The Greek root refers to the ancient North African city; some link Kyrene to kyros/kyrios “authority, lordship,” yielding senses like “sovereign” or “strength,” while in English it can be read simply as “woman of Cyrene.”

Though not a biblical personal name, Cyreniah echoes Scripture: Cyrene appears in the New Testament, and Simon of Cyrene carried Jesus’ cross. The form surfaces in 19th‑century American records, alongside KJV-inspired names such as Cyrenius. Variants and near-forms include Cyrene, Cyrena, Cyrenia, Cyrenea, Kyrene, and Kyrenia; nicknames include Cyra, Rena, and Nia. Today it remains uncommon, prized for its classical-biblical cadence and distinctive sound.
