Kyra is associated with the meaning “Throne, sun, or lord” — a beautiful sentiment to see brought to life in your child’s room.
Kyra most likely comes from the Greek name Kyrios, meaning "lord" or "ruler." It is closely related to the Persian name Cyrus, which also carried the meaning of "throne" or "sun." Some scholars also connect it to the Irish name Ciara, meaning "dark" or "dark-haired one." The name carries a sense of strength and authority at its root.
