What Cyra means
Where Cyra comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Cyra comes from Greek, the feminine of Cyrus, which is the Latin form of Kyros. The Greeks who wrote about the Persian king handed his name a meaning: sun. Plutarch, in his life of Artaxerxes, records that Cyrus meant "sun" in the Persian tongue. A royal name became a girl's name, and that old gloss came with it.
Two senses sit together in Cyra. One is sun. The other is lady, the feminine of Cyrus and of his title, lord.
Read off a Polish class register, Cyra is short and lands fast.
The sun reading was fixed long before any Polish parent met the name. Cyrus ruled, and Greek writers explained him to their readers. For a girl called Cyra, what stays is that pair: sun, and lady.
