What is the meaning of the name Kiprianos ?

Kiprianos is Greek in Origin.

Kiprianos is the Greek (Κυπριανός) cognate of Latin Cyprianus, a toponymic name meaning “from Cyprus” or “Cypriot,” ultimately from Kypros, the Greek name of the island. The form with i reflects a common transliteration; Kyprianos is also seen. The name traveled through early Christianity via revered saints - most notably St. Cyprian of Carthage (3rd century) in the West and the hieromartyr Cyprian and Justina in the Eastern tradition - anchoring its use in Byzantine records, monastic settings, and Orthodox calendars.

Variants and cognates include Cyprian (English/Polish), Cyprien (French), Ciprian (Romanian), Cipriano (Italian/Spanish/Portuguese), Cyprián/Ciprián (Czech/Slovak), and Slavic forms Kiprian or Kiprijan (Russian, Bulgarian, Serbian, Macedonian). Lithuanian Kipras is a related short form; Kip works as an informal nickname in English. While never common, Kiprianos persists in Greece and Cyprus and appeals today to parents seeking a distinctive, tradition-rich choice with a warm Mediterranean meaning.
