Kiril Origin and Meaning

The name Kiril is a boy's name of Bulgarian origin.

Kiril is a masculine name of Slavic origin, primarily used in Eastern European countries like Bulgaria, Russia, and Macedonia. It is derived from the Greek name Kyrillos, which comes from 'kyrios' meaning 'lord' or 'master.' The name gained prominence through Saint Cyril, who along with his brother Methodius, created the Cyrillic alphabet used in many Slavic languages. This connection gives Kiril strong intellectual and cultural associations. In Western countries, Kiril remains relatively uncommon, offering a distinctive yet accessible option for parents seeking an international name with historical depth. The name carries connotations of wisdom, scholarship, and spiritual leadership. Its short, strong sound makes it both memorable and easy to pronounce across different languages.
