Kyrra is English, Greek, Irish in Origin.

Kyrra is a rare modern feminine name that likely fuses several traditions. One plausible source is the Norwegian epithet Kyrre (“peaceful, placid”), from Old Norse kyrr “calm,” historically borne by King Olaf III of Norway (Olav Kyrre). It also sits alongside Greek-derived Kyra (from kyria, “lady,” ultimately from kyrios, “lord”) and the Slavic/English Kira, which entered via the Persian royal name Cyrus and is often interpreted as “ruler” or “throne.” As a contemporary respelling with a distinctive y and double r, Kyrra carries the combined sense of calm authority.

Usage is very recent, largely appearing in English-speaking countries from the late 20th century onward, with no established saint’s day or traditional name day. Variants and near-variants include Kyra, Kira, Kirra (common in Australia), Keira, and Kyrah. Depending on the lineage you favor, Kyrra can mean “peaceful,” “lady,” or “ruler.”
