The name Kyril is a male given name of Greek origin, derived from the Greek name Kyrios, which means "lord" or "master." Pronounced KEER-il (/ˈkɪərɪl/), it exudes a sense of nobility and strength. While not commonly used in the United States, with only a handful of occurrences over recent years, Kyril holds historical significance and cultural depth. It has variations such as Kirill, which is more frequently found in Eastern European countries. The name is often associated with Saint Cyril, who was a notable Christian theologian and missionary credited with creating the Glagolitic alphabet. This historical connection lends the name an intellectual and spiritual gravitas that parents might find appealing for their child.
