An Old Persian royal name of uncertain meaning, famously borne by Cyrus the Great.

Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Meno Cyrus je latinská podoba starogréckeho mena Κῦρος (Kýros), ktoré sprostredkúva staroperzské kráľovské meno Kūruš. Jeho konečná etymológia nie je spoľahlivo objasnená. Tradičné spájanie so slovom označujúcim slnko sa dnes pokladá za nepreukázané; zvažuje sa najmä súvislosť s indoárijským menom Kuru, prípadne neiránsky pôvod.
