Pyrro is Greek in Origin.

Pyrro traces to the Ancient Greek Πύρρος (Pyrrhos), built on pyr, “fire,” yielding the sense “flame-colored,” “red-haired,” or “fiery.” The Latin form is Pyrrhus, while the philosopher’s name Pyrrho of Elis preserves another Greek transliteration. Pyrro is a modern streamlined spelling; close relatives include Albanian and Italian Pirro, used both as given name and surname. The feminine counterpart is Pyrrha, known from Greek myth.

Usage clusters in classical contexts: Pyrrhus of Epirus lent his name to the phrase “pyrrhic victory,” and Pyrrho to the philosophical school of skepticism. As a contemporary given name, Pyrro remains rare in the Anglophone world but appeals for its compact profile and vivid meaning. Variant forms and cognates include Pyrrhos, Pyrrhus, Pyrrho, Pirro, and the feminine Pyrrha.
