Comments for the name Cirillo

Comments for CIRILLO:

Correct Italian pronunciation for "Cirillo":

Chee-REEL-Loh

A "C" before an "I" always creates "CHEE," the "I" is stressed. Roll your "R" for "Ri," and again the "I" is stressed. Next up, both "LL"s must be clearly pronounced. This is most easily accomplished by placing extra emphasis on the letter before (in Cirillo's case, the "I"). Follow with that "I" to the first "L," linger, finish with the second connected to the "O." "O" is as usual, "Oh." [noted -ed]
