What Does the Name Cyrah Mean?
Cyrah is an English spelling of a feminine name whose meaning is uncertain. It is usually treated as a variant of Cyra, but similar-looking names such as Kyra are not proof of a shared origin. When Cyra is connected with the Greek title kyra, the sense is "lady" or "mistress." When it is treated as a feminine form of Cyrus, the meaning depends on the Old Persian name Kūruš, whose etymology is disputed: "young" and "humiliator of the enemy" are among the proposed explanations, but neither is certain. For Cyrah itself, no independent literal meaning is well supported.
Cyrah Name History & Origins
The spelling Cyrah adds an h to Cyra, a name used in English and other European languages. Cyra has been explained in two main ways: as a name derived from the Greek title kyra, and as a feminine form of Cyrus, the Greek and Latin form of the Old Persian royal name Kūruš borne by the Achaemenid king Cyrus the Great. The Greek explanation treats a respectful title for a woman as the source of a given name; the Cyrus explanation connects it to a Persian name whose own etymology is disputed. The added h does not correspond to a Greek or Persian element, so it does not by itself mark a separate origin.
