Pronounced as SY-pruhs (/ˈsaɪprəs/), this name draws its origin from the Mediterranean island nation of Cyprus, known for its rich history and cultural heritage. The name evokes images of sun-drenched landscapes, ancient ruins, and a blend of Greek and Middle Eastern influences. A variation of the name is Cypress, which refers to the tall, evergreen tree that symbolizes endurance and immortality in many cultures.
