Lyriq is a respelled form of the English given name Lyric, which comes from the ordinary English word lyric.

The final -iq spelling does not alter the meaning or the sound of the name.

Lyric as a personal name is a recent use of the word, which in English names a kind of poetry meant to be sung and, more loosely, the words of a song.
