Kyair Origin and Meaning

The name Kyair is a boy's name meaning "he shines; good".

A modern invention with a number of possible origins, Kyair has doubled in use since 2020. While the spelling Kyaire is currently favored, Kyair is sleek and concise, gives you the nickname Ky, and the feel of popular choices like Kaiser and Kairo.

Particularly popular among African American parents, it is speculated that Kyaire was created as a spin on the modern spiritual choice, Kyrie, meaning "lord", or as a twist on the African place name, Zyaire - both of which are in the US Top 1000.

Alternatively, it could be a variant of the Hebrew name, Jair, and this spelling may have arisen as a way of making the Spanish pronunciation more obvious to non-Spanish speakers. There's also a chance that Kyair is a modern form of the Arabic name Khair - also spelled Khaire and Kayre - meaning "good, best" and "prosperity".

Given to 124 boys in 2023, it is a name on the rise, and when combined with all the baby Kyaires, it starts to feel like a Top 700 choice, similar in popularity to Creed, Westley, Amias, and Dustin.
