Cyrine is Arabic in Origin.

Cyrine is a feminine given name prominent in Francophone North Africa and the Levant. It overlaps with the Arabic name Sīrīn (سيرين), attested in early Islamic narratives for Sīrīn bint Shamʿūn, and is often linked to Middle Persian Shirin, yielding meanings such as “sweet,” “pleasant,” or “delightful.” In another line of use, Cyrine is treated as the French form of Cyrene/Kyrene, the mythic Greek nymph and eponym of the Libyan city, whose name is variously interpreted as “sovereign” or “powerful,” possibly related to kyrios “lord/authority.”

Variants include Syrine, Sirine, Sirin, and the classical Cyrene/Kyrene; related but distinct is Persian Shirin. The name has seen steady modern popularity in Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, and Lebanon, bolstered by French transliteration conventions, and occasional use in Europe. Its cross-cultural layers make Cyrine appealing to parents seeking a lyrical sound with either a sweet, affectionate sense or a dignified, queenly resonance.
