Kourros is Greek in Origin.

Kourros is a rare modern masculine given name whose form points to Greek. It closely resembles kouros (Greek κούρος), the term for a male youth in archaic Greece and for the iconic freestanding statues of young men. Through this link, Kourros is commonly interpreted to carry the sense “youth; young man,” with connotations of vigor, beauty, and new beginnings.

While kouros is ancient as a noun, it has seen only sporadic use as a personal name, mostly in contemporary Greek-diaspora and English-speaking settings; Kourros appears as a creative respelling that doubles the r for distinctive rhythm. Variants include Kouros and Kuros; related by association are Kyros/Cyrus (Greek/Persian royal name) and Persian Kourosh (کوروش). The name’s rarity gives it a modern-art aura while anchoring it in unmistakably Hellenic imagery.
