You ineed have an interesting and unusual name. It means "Lady" in Greek, and is derived from "Kyrios" (Lord). The pronounciatition is Key-REE-ah. I should point out that "Kyria" has never been used as a first name in contemporary or ancient Greece, although the related names Kyriaki (or Kyriake) and Kyriacos are very popular in my neck of the woods. A famous namesake is *Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou (George Michael)* = *A hairy gay Greek go-go musician(Police sore, too!)* as per the anagram oracle...
