Kiro

Meaning of Kiro

Kiro is a male given name with dual resonance in Bulgarian and Japanese contexts, pronounced kee-roh. In Bulgarian usage, it functions as a shorter form of Kiril—derived from the Greek Kyrillos (“lordly”)—and carries a subtle sense of authority. In Japanese, it is adopted primarily as a phonetic import rather than through native kanji construction, highlighting its global adaptability. U.S. Social Security data indicate that between 2013 and 2024, Kiro’s rank oscillated between 884 and 924, with annual occurrences ranging from five to thirty-one newborns—a pattern that denotes modest but consistent appeal. Its concise structure reduces the likelihood of mispronunciation, a small but sometimes appreciated benefit in daily introductions.
