What is the meaning of the name Siros ?

The baby name Siros is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced SEE-ros (ˈsiːrɒs),SY-ros (ˈsaɪrɒs).

Siros is Italian in Origin.

Siros is a modern Persian given name (Persian سیروس, transliterated Sīrus/Siros), ultimately related to Old Persian Kūruš, rendered in Greek as Kyros and in Latin/English as Cyrus. Its exact meaning is disputed; proposals range from “sun-like” to “young” or “far-sighted,” and some trace it to an Elamite royal name of uncertain sense. Common variants and cognates include Sirus, Sirous, Cyrus, Kourosh/Kurosh (modern Persian of the older form), as well as Italian Ciro and Siro and Greek Kyros.

Usage is anchored in the prestige of Cyrus the Great, Achaemenid founder famed for statecraft and the Cyrus Cylinder; the biblical Cyrus also sustained the name in Jewish and Christian tradition. In Iran and the diaspora, Siros/Sirus has seen steady 20th- and 21st-century use, a culturally rooted yet internationally pronounceable choice. Less commonly, it is linked by spelling to the Aegean island Syros (Greek Síros), a separate toponym.
