Kyree
Meaning of Kyree
Kyree is a modern masculine given name whose story feels distinctly American, yet it reaches back to classical roots. Most analysts trace it to the Greek liturgical word “Kyrie,” meaning “Lord,” though some parents also like its phonetic kinship to the Arabic Khairy, “charitable.” In either case, the name carries a quietly dignified undertone, balanced by the fresh energy of its streamlined spelling. Usage data confirms the point: Kyree first flickers onto U.S. charts in the late-1970s, then advances steadily, never overshooting the top 500 but rarely losing ground—an appealing middle-lane choice for parents who want a name that is recognized yet not ubiquitous. The pronunciation ky-REE glides off the tongue with a hint of lyrical flair, inviting inevitable comparisons to NBA star Kyrie Irving while still claiming its own identity. Overall, Kyree offers a blend of modern style, subtle religious heritage, and athletic resonance, giving a child a name that feels both grounded and forward-looking.
