Cyrenna is in Origin.
Cyrenna is a rare feminine given name, generally viewed as a modern elaboration of Cyrena/Cyrene, drawn from the Greek Kyrene, a Thessalian huntress loved by Apollo and eponym of the North African city Cyrene. As such, Cyrenna carries a toponymic sense "woman of Cyrene" and, by association with the mythic Kyrene, is sometimes linked to Greek kyra/kyrios ("lady, sovereign"), yielding an interpretive meaning of "noble/sovereign woman."
The form Cyrena appears intermittently in English-speaking records from the 18th-19th centuries amid neoclassical taste, while Cyrenna surfaces later as a stylistic -enna embellishment (akin to Sienna, Renna). Usage remains very rare today, mostly in the United States. Variant forms and near-equivalents include Cyrena, Cyrene, Kyrene, Cirene (Romance spelling), and Kirene; short forms include Cyra, Rena, Renna, and Renny. Related but etymologically separate lookalikes are Serena and Sirena.
Cyrenna doesn't appear in any of the birth registries or name datasets we track. It's the kind of name that tends to be rare, regional, or newly made up. Whatever the reason, hardly anyone else has it.
