Cyrilo is Greek, Italian in Origin.

Cyrilo is a rare cross-linguistic variant of Cyril, ultimately from Greek Kyrillos (Κύριλλος), derived from kyrios, “lord,” hence “lordly” or “belonging to the Lord.” The spelling with y reflects the Greek/English tradition, while the -o ending echoes Iberian patterns seen in Spanish and Portuguese Cirilo. As such, Cyrilo reads as a bridge between the Greek-rooted form and Romance naming style.

The wider name family spread through the prestige of several early and medieval saints, notably Cyril of Jerusalem, Cyril of Alexandria, and the missionary Saint Cyril (with Methodius), whose legacy cemented the name across Slavic cultures. Related forms include Cyril (English), Cyrille (French), Cyryl (Polish), Ciril (Slovene/Croatian), Kirill (Russian), Kiril (Bulgarian/Macedonian), Kyril (German/Scandinavian), Kyrylo (Ukrainian), Cirilo (Spanish/Portuguese), and the Latin Cyrillus. Nicknames and diminutives vary by language, such as Cy in English and Kiro in some Balkan contexts. Meaning remains consistently “lordly.”
