Kiveli is in Origin.

Kiveli is a modern Greek feminine name, a transliteration of Kyveli (Κυβέλη), the Greek form of Cybele, the ancient Phrygian-Anatolian “Great Mother” deity. Because it derives from a theonym, its sense lies in the goddess’s attributes rather than a literal dictionary meaning: motherhood, fertility, protection, and the untamed forces of nature. The underlying etymology is debated, with scholars proposing links to Lydian/Phrygian roots or to Kubaba, but in Greek tradition Kyveli became the revered Mother of the Gods.

In personal-name use, Kyveli/Kiveli saw revival in Greece from the late 19th century amid neoclassical currents and has been favored in artistic circles; it remains uncommon yet distinctive. Principal variants include Kyveli (standard scholarly transliteration), Kiveli (phonetic modern Greek), and the related Latinized Cybele in other languages. Rare diminutives may appear informally, but the name’s classical gravitas and lyrical rhythm are its main appeal.
