Khyre
Meaning of Khyre
Khyre emerges as a modern masculine appellation within the Anglo-American onomastic landscape, its etymological contours remaining indeterminate yet plausibly linked to an inventive respelling of the Greek-derived Kyrie—“lord”—as transmitted through liturgical tradition. Phonologically structured as KY-reh (/kaɪ-ˈreɪ/), the name integrates the diphthong /aɪ/ with a final mid-front vowel, conforming to established English phonotactic constraints. Its introduction into United States Social Security Administration records in 1991 at rank 757 with seven occurrences marked the commencement of a pattern of modest oscillation—peaking at 847th in 2004, stabilizing thereafter within the 875th–936th interval, and registering 11 births for a 913th rank in 2024—thereby evidencing its persistence as a distinct yet infrequent choice. Conceptually, Khyre aligns with contemporary naming trends that valorize phonetic innovation and cultural hybridity, simultaneously invoking associations of leadership and individual distinction while maintaining formal coherence within English-language conventions.
