Cyrillo is Greek in Origin.
Cyrillo is a rare, Latinized and Italianate variant of Cyril, ultimately from Greek Kyrillos (Κύριλλος), derived from kyrios, “lord, master,” giving the meaning “lordly” or “belonging to the Lord.” The form traveled through Latin Cyrillus, and Cyrillo appears in ecclesiastical registers and Romance-language contexts. Related forms include Cyril (English, Czech, Slovak), Cyrille (French), Cirilo (Spanish/Portuguese), Cirillo (Italian), Cyryl (Polish), Kiril (Bulgarian/Macedonian), Kirill (Russian), Kyrylo (Ukrainian), and Kyrillos (modern Greek). Nicknames may include Cy or Rillo.
The name gained prominence through major Christian figures: Cyril of Jerusalem and Cyril of Alexandria, as well as Saint Cyril who, with Methodius, evangelized the Slavs and lent his name to the Cyrillic script. It flourished across the Slavic world and saw modest use in English-speaking countries around the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Today Cyrillo feels distinctive and cosmopolitan, blending classical gravitas with continental polish.
