Cyris

Meaning of Cyris

Cyris, pronounced SY-ris (/saɪˈrɪs/), is a distinctive masculine name derived from the ancient Persian Kurus, whose most famous bearer was Cyrus the Great. Carried into English through Greek, the name marries historical depth with a sleek, modern form. In the United States, Cyris has held a modest yet consistent place on the Social Security Administration’s annual list since the late 1990s—hovering between ranks 788 and 934—and in 2024 was given to 11 newborns, placing it at 913. Its subtle classical resonance and restrained popularity appeal to parents seeking a name that conveys quiet leadership and warmth—though its bearers need not expect to command an empire.
