What does the name Kyro mean?
Kyro is a very recent American boys' name, recorded from 2002. No dictionary we checked documents it. It may be a respelling of Kairo or Cairo, or be modeled on Greek Kyros (Cyrus), but no source confirms where parents take it from. The spelling with K and y matches other recent American boys' names such as Kylan. We therefore do not give it a meaning.
How sure is this? Not documented. Undocumented; possible models (Cairo, Cyrus) are guesses from sound.
Related names: Kairo, Cairo, Cyrus, Kyrie.
