Kirilr is Slavic in Origin.

Kirilr is a rare contemporary respelling of Kiril/Kirill, the Slavic form of Cyril, ultimately from Greek Kyrillos "lordly," derived from kyrios "lord, master." The name gained prominence through early Christian figures such as Saint Cyril of Alexandria and Saint Cyril (Constantine) of Thessalonica, famed with Methodius for missionary work among Slavs and for the creation of the Glagolitic alphabet, later inspiring the Cyrillic script. Through their veneration, the name spread widely across Eastern Europe and the Orthodox world.

While Kirilr itself has no separate etymology, it preserves the same meaning as Kiril and functions as a stylistic, modern twist. Established variants include Cyril (English), Cyrille (French), Cirilo (Spanish/Portuguese), Cirillo (Italian), Kyrillos (Greek), Kirill (Russian), Kiril (Bulgarian/Macedonian), Kiryl (Belarusian), and Kyrylo (Ukrainian). Diminutives such as Kiro, Kirya, and Kiryusha occur regionally. Usage of Kirilr remains very uncommon and distinctly contemporary.
