What Does the Name Kyriee Mean?
Kyriee is a modern respelling of Kyrie, a name taken from the Greek word kyrie, the vocative form of kyrios, meaning "lord" or "master." The literal sense is a form of address: "O Lord." The word is best known from the Christian liturgical phrase Kyrie eleison, "Lord, have mercy," which is why the name is often linked with mercy in religious settings; that link belongs to the prayer as a whole, not to the basic meaning of the word.
The doubled final -e in Kyriee does not change the derivation. It follows the common modern practice of respelling a familiar given name with an added or altered final letter.
Kyriee Name History & Origins
Kyrios was the ordinary Greek word for a master or owner, and Greek-speaking Jews and early Christians used it as a title for God. The vocative kyrie appears in the New Testament as a form of address to God and to Jesus. The prayer Kyrie eleison was kept in Greek even in the Latin Mass, and it remains in the liturgies of many churches, including Roman Catholic, Anglican, and Lutheran services.
As a personal name in English, Kyrie is relatively recent and is used both with the liturgical pronunciation and with an anglicized one. Kyriee is a further spelling of that name. The word also appears in popular culture, such as the 1985 song "Kyrie" by Mr. Mister, whose chorus repeats the liturgical phrase; such uses draw on the existing name rather than create its meaning.
