Kipros is Greek in Origin.

Kipros is the transliteration of Greek Κύπρος (Modern Greek Kípros), the name of the island of Cyprus, used as a given name meaning “of/from Cyprus” or “the Cypriot.” The deeper etymology of Κύπρος is debated: ancient sources connect it with κύπρος ‘henna,’ while folk links to cypress or to copper persist; in fact, Latin cuprum “copper” derives from aes Cyprium, “metal of Cyprus.” Pronunciation typically approximates KEE-pros.

As a personal name, Kipros/Kypros is rare but attested in the Greek world and especially in Cyprus. The feminine Cypros appears in the Herodian dynasty, while early Christian tradition favors the derived Kyprianos (Latin Cyprianus). Modern bearers occur chiefly in Cyprus and the Greek diaspora; the form also appears as a surname. Variants and related forms include Kypros, Kýpros, Cypros; feminine Kypria and Kyproula; and the cognate Kyprianos/Cyprian. Informal English nicknames may include Kip.
