Pyro is Greek in Origin.

Pyro draws from Ancient Greek pyr, "fire," best known in English through the combining form pyro-, used for heat and flame. As a given name it is a modern, English-language coinage, sometimes linked to the classical Greek family of names Pyrrhos/Pyrrhus and Pyrrho, meaning "flame-colored, red," which share the same fiery semantic field.

In use, Pyro remains rare and contemporary, chosen for its bold, elemental meaning and high-energy sound. Usage is largely in English-speaking countries and tends to skew masculine, though as a word-name it functions unisex. Pop-culture appearances in comics and gaming have kept it recognizable without being common. Variant spellings are few; Pyra is sometimes adopted as a feminine counterpart, while Piro occurs as a streamlined form. Related names by meaning include Aidan/Aodhan, Ignatius/Ignacio, and Nuri. Possible nicknames: Ro, Rye, Py. Overall meaning: "fire; fiery, ardent."
