Kyrylo is the standard Ukrainian form of the Greek name Kyrillos (Κύριλλος), derived from kyrios, “lord, master,” yielding the meaning “lordly” or “of the Lord.” The name entered the Slavic world through Byzantine Christianity and has long resonated in Ukrainian culture, where the -ylo ending reflects native phonology and modern transliteration from Cyrillic Кирило.

Borne by eminent church fathers such as Cyril of Jerusalem and Cyril of Alexandria, and by the 9th‑century missionary Saint Cyril (paired with Methodius), the name became emblematic across Eastern Europe; the Cyrillic script is traditionally associated with him. In Ukraine, Kyrylo appears in chronicles and enjoys periodic revivals today. Variants include Cyril (English), Cyryl (Polish), Cyrille (French), Cyrillus (Latin), Cirillo (Italian), Cirilo (Spanish/Portuguese), Kirill (Russian), Kiril/Kyril (Bulgarian, Macedonian), and Kiryla (Belarusian). Ukrainian diminutives and nicknames include Kirylko and Kyrko; South Slavic Kiro is also encountered.
