Kyre is English in Origin.

Kyre is a modern given name with several plausible roots. It can be read as a streamlined form of Kyrie, from Greek kyrios “lord,” known through the liturgical phrase Kyrie eleison. In South Slavic usage it parallels Kire, a nickname for Kiril/Cyril, ultimately from Greek Kyrillos “lordly.” Kyre also appears as an English habitational surname from Kyre in Worcestershire, whose pre-English (likely Brittonic) place-name origin is uncertain, making the toponymic meaning simply “from Kyre.”

As a given name, Kyre is rare but has surfaced in English-speaking records since the late 20th century, influenced by the popularity of Kyrie and contemporary -yre spellings. It is used for boys and occasionally girls. Variants and related forms include Kyrie, Kyree, Kire, and the feminine Kyra, with Cyril/Kiril as cognates. Depending on origin, the name’s sense ranges from “lord; lordly” to “of/from Kyre.”
