Pirro is Greek in Origin.
Pirro is the Italian and Albanian form of the Ancient Greek name Pyrros (Πύρρος), derived from pyr 'fire' and the adjective pyrrhos, 'flame-colored, tawny, red-haired.' It thus carries senses of 'fiery' and 'red-haired.' As a given name it traveled through the Hellenistic Balkans into Latin as Pyrrhus, then reentered Romance and Albanian usage via medieval and Renaissance classicism.
The most famous bearer is King Pyrrhus of Epirus (3rd c. BCE), whose costly successes gave rise to the phrase 'Pyrrhic victory,' lending the name a storied, warrior aura. Contemporary bearers appear chiefly in Albania and the Greek-speaking world (Modern Greek Pyrros), with rarer use in southern Italy. Variants and cognates include Pyrrhus/Pyrrhos/Pyrrho, Pyrros, Pirro, and Albanian Piro; related surnames occur in Italy and Albania. Not to be confused with Piero/Pierro (from Peter).
