Kyro

Boy name · 51 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Kyro: 51 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 11 births in 2024.

Kyro is a modern invention, likely a creative respelling or short form of names like Kyran or Kyros, the latter being a Greek name meaning "lord" or "master"—a distant cousin of the more familiar Cyrus. Its fresh, sleek sound has given it a contemporary feel, particularly in English-speaking countries. While no major historical figures bear the name Kyro itself, its root Cyrus links it to the ancient Persian king Cyrus the Great, known for his empire and the Cyrus Cylinder, an early human rights charter. A place connection is indirect: the island of Cyprus shares the same Greek root through Kypros, meaning "copper." Kyro today enjoys a cool, modern appeal, often chosen for its unique spelling and strong, minimalist vibe.
