Meaning & origin
Kyriaki is a Greek feminine name that has seen modest but steady usage in the United States since first appearing in Social Security records in 1973. Its highest popularity occurred in 2023, when it ranked 14,942 with an incidence of 1 in 321,453 births. The name's trajectory has remained stable over the past decade, reflecting its niche appeal among families with Greek heritage or those seeking a distinctive religious name. While it has not cracked the top states for concentration, its enduring presence in the U.S. underscores the lasting influence of Greek diaspora traditions. Kyriaki stands as a meaningful choice deeply rooted in Christian Greek culture, maintaining a quiet but consistent presence over the past 50 years.
Kyriaki is the feminine form of the Greek name Kyriakos, derived from the Greek word kyriakos meaning "of the Lord" or "belonging to the Lord." The name has been used in Greek-speaking Christian communities for centuries, particularly among families honoring the concept of the Lord's day (Kyriaki, meaning Sunday). It remains a traditional name in Greece and the Greek diaspora.
