Kyro is a modern invented name that first appeared in U.S. records in 2002. It may be a respelling of Kyro or Kairo, influenced by the Greek name Kyros (meaning 'lord' or 'master') or the Egyptian city Cairo, but no direct derivation is firmly established. Its rise in usage since 2007 coincides with a trend toward short, unique names with a 'y' and an 'o' ending.
