Meaning & origin

Kyrra first entered U.S. birth records in 1987, a late-20th-century arrival that fits alongside other invented 'K' names. Its peak year was 2008, but it has never been common enough to rank in the national top 1000, remaining a rare and stable choice. Though its origins are uncertain, the name likely follows the pattern of similar-sounding names like Kyra and Kira, which are well-established. Kyrra's consistent but low usage suggests it appeals to parents seeking a distinctive, feminine name with a modern feel.

Kyrra is a modern name that first appeared in U.S. records in 1987. It may be a respelling of Kyra, from the Greek name Kyra meaning 'lady, mistress,' or an invented variation of Kira or Ciara. Its peak popularity occurred in 2008.
