Kyria is Greek in Origin.

Kyria is the Greek word kyría (κυρία), the feminine counterpart of kýrios (“lord, master”), and functions in Greek as a respectful title meaning “lady” or “madam.” As a given name it conveys poise and nobility, literally “lady” or “noblewoman,” and carries echoes of authority through its root in kyrios.

The term appears in early Christian literature: 2 John opens “to the elect kyria,” which some readers take as a proper name, while others read it as “elect lady.” In Byzantine and modern Greek society kyria remained a formal address akin to “Mrs.”; as a personal name Kyria is rare but has seen modest use in the Anglophone world since the late 20th century. Variants and related forms include Cyria (Latinized), Kyra and Kira (Greek-related), Kyrie (from the liturgical phrase Kyrie eleison), and the cognate Kyriaki (“of the Lord,” also “Sunday”).
