Kyriakou is Greek in Origin.

Kyriakou is a Greek name formed as the genitive (“of”) of Kyriakos, from Greek kyriakos “belonging to the Lord,” rooted in kyrios “lord.” In Greek naming it functions chiefly as a patronymic surname meaning “child/descendant of Kyriakos,” and the -ou ending also marks the feminine surname form. While uncommon as a given name, Kyriakou may be used as a first or middle name in Greek and Cypriot families to honor ancestry.

The root gained prominence in early Christian communities, appearing in the names of saints such as Kyriakos (Latinized as Cyriacus) and Kyriakos the Anchorite, and relates to Kyriaki, the Greek word for Sunday (“the Lord’s Day”). International and transliteration variants include Kyriakos, Kyriacos/Kyriacou, Cyriacus (Latin), Cyriaque (French), Ciriaco (Italian/Spanish), and Quirico/Quiriaco (Italian/Spanish). Short forms sometimes used in English contexts are Kyri or Kiri. Overall meaning: “of the Lord; dedicated to God.”
