Cirilla

Meaning of Cirilla

Cirilla drifts over the baby-name landscape like moonlight skimming a silent koi pond, her three soft syllables forged long ago from the Greek kyrios—“lordly”—tempered into Latin Cyrilla, and finally carried on the silver blade of modern fantasy as the ashen-haired heroine of The Witcher; thus a child who bears it inherits both classical gravitas and the whisper of cherry-blossom wanderings, while the built-in nickname “Ciri” flicks through conversation with the neat precision of a thrown shuriken (no sorcery required, though it doesn’t hurt). Stateside charts, once treating the name with the polite distance reserved for obscure haiku, now reveal a quiet ascent—from the lower nine-hundreds only a handful of springs ago to the mid-eight-hundreds—suggesting that more parents are discovering its cool, luminous edge and finding it perfectly suited to a daughter destined to travel her own wide, star-scattered path.
