Kyriakoula is Greek in Origin.

Kyriakoula is a Greek feminine name, a tender diminutive of Kyriaki (Κυριακή) formed with the affectionate suffix -oula. Kyriaki means “Sunday” in Greek and traces back to kyriakos, “of the Lord,” from kyrios, “lord.” The name carries strong Orthodox associations through the Great Martyr Saint Kyriaki, whose feast on July 7 is commonly observed as the name day. Traditionally bestowed on girls born on a Sunday, Kyriakoula has been used across Greece and the Greek diaspora, balancing village warmth with heritage-rich appeal.

Variants and related forms include Kyriaki/Kyriake (formal), Kyriakitsa (another diminutive), and the spelling Kiriakoula; in Greek script it appears as Κυριακούλα. The masculine counterpart is Kyriakos. International cognates that reflect the same “day of the Lord/Sunday” idea include Dominica/Domenica and Spanish Dominga; functional Slavic equivalents include Nedelka/Nedeljka. Familiar nicknames are Kiki and Koula. Today the name feels both traditional and endearingly intimate.
