Cyryl is the Polish form of Cyril, ultimately from Greek Kyrillos (Κύριλλος), a name built on kyrios, "lord, master," giving the sense "lordly" or "belonging to the Lord." It spread through the Christian world via prominent church fathers: Cyril of Alexandria, a 5th-century theologian and bishop; Cyril of Jerusalem, a 4th-century catechist; and the Byzantine missionary known as Saint Cyril (born Constantine), who with his brother Methodius evangelized the Slavs and inspired the development of the Glagolitic and, later, Cyrillic script.

In Poland, Cyryl has long been understood through liturgical and Slavic cultural traditions but remains relatively uncommon today. International variants include Cyril (English/French), Cyrille (French), Cyrillus (Latin), Cyrill/Kyrill (German and other European forms), Kirill (Russian), Kiryl (Belarusian), Kyrylo (Ukrainian), Ciril (Slovene), Cirilo (Spanish/Portuguese), and Cirillo (Italian); Greek retains Kyrillos. Related feminine forms include Cyrilla. The name carries an ecclesiastical tone with pan-Slavic resonance.
