According to our venerable leader and cash cow Mike C (peace be upon Him) Kyra is a feminine version on Cyrus. In addition to this etymology, Kyra may also related to the Greek Kyria (meaning "Lady")and pronounced keyREEah. Offshoot Greek names include the male Kyriakos (Key-ri-A-kos") -- meaning "of the Lord" -- and the female Kyriaki (Key-reea-KEY)-- meaning Sunday. A famous Kyriakos includes George Michael. A famous Kyriaki includes PriaposLovs' wife.
