Cairo

KIE-RO

Place name, Arabic

"the strong; the conqueror"

Cairo Origin and Meaning

The name Cairo is a girl's name meaning "the strong; the conqueror".

On trend for boys but with plenty of unisex appeal too, the place name Cairo was put on the map for girls when model Beverly Peele chose it for her daughter. Given to around 50 girls each year, it hasn't caught on just yet but with its similar sounds to Kaia and Skyler, it might do in the future.

The name of the ancient city was derived from the Arabic term al-Kahira, meaning "the strong" or "the conqueror", and the name puts in mind a bustling city, museums, and ancient history.
