Cyrillos is Greek in Origin.

From Greek Kyrillos (Κυρίλλος), built on kyrios (“lord, master”), Cyrillos carries the sense of “lordly,” “of the master,” or “noble.” The -os ending marks its Hellenic form; Cyrillos is a learned, ecclesiastical spelling often seen in Latin and English texts for Greek and Coptic churchmen, alongside Kyrillos in modern Greek.

The name gained prominence through early Christian bishops: St. Cyril of Jerusalem (4th c.) and St. Cyril of Alexandria (5th c.), and later St. Cyril, apostle to the Slavs, whose legacy lent his name to the Cyrillic script. Variants include Cyril (English/French), Cyrille (Fr.), Cyrill (Ger.), Kirill (Rus.), Kiril (Bulgarian/Macedonian), Kyrylo (Ukr.), Cyryl (Pol.), Ciril (Slovene/Croatian), Cirilo (Span./Port.), Cirillo (Ital.), and the Greek Kyrillos; feminine forms are Cyrilla and Cyrille. Short forms such as Cy occur in English. Usage today clusters in Eastern Christian traditions yet remains internationally recognizable through its saintly heritage.
