Kyros

Meaning of Kyros

Imagine the name Kyros gliding like a sunbeam from ancient Greek colonnades into a modern nursery—bold, bright and impossible to ignore. Rooted in the Greek Κῦρος and forever tied to the legendary King Cyrus the Great, it carries a dash of imperial flair and a warm, sun-lit glow (“like the sun” is one popular interpretation). In Greek it’s KEE-ros, while English speakers tend to lean into KY-rohs, and in the U.S. it’s the ultimate hidden gem—just seven little Kyroses in 2024, making each one feel like a pint-sized ruler of his own kingdom. Playful yet noble, this name weaves a narrative of strength and optimism—perfect for a boy who’s destined to lead adventures, break into spontaneous laughter, and leave a trail of light wherever he wanders.
