What is the meaning of the name Kyryl ?

The baby name Kyryl is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈkɪrɪl/ (KIH-ril).

Kyryl is Ukrainian in Origin.

Kyryl is an Eastern Slavic given name tied to the Greek Kyrillos (Κύριλλος), from kyrios “lord, master,” yielding the sense “lordly” or “belonging to the Lord.” The form aligns with Ukrainian Kyrylo (Кирило) and Belarusian Kiryl (Кірыл), with Kyryl appearing as a contemporary transliteration favored in Ukrainian and Belarusian contexts and among the diaspora.

The name spread across Slavic lands through Christianization and the prestige of several saints - Cyril of Alexandria, Cyril of Jerusalem, and especially Saint Cyril, the 9th‑century missionary linked with Methodius; the Cyrillic script commemorates his legacy. Kyryl remains familiar in Orthodox and Greek‑Catholic communities and has seen renewed post‑Soviet usage. Related variants include Cyril (English/French), Cyrille (French), Cyryl (Polish), Cirillo (Italian), Ciril (Slovene/Croatian), Kirill (Russian), Kiril (Bulgarian/Macedonian), and Kyrylo (Ukrainian). Short forms may include Kir and Kirya in Slavic usage.
