The history of the first name Kyrollos

The name Kyrollos is derived from the Greek name Kyrillos, which is a form of the name Kyrios, meaning "lord" or "master." The name has its origins in the Greek language and was popular among early Christians, particularly in the eastern Mediterranean region.

The name Kyrollos first appeared in ancient Greek texts and religious scriptures, including the New Testament. One of the earliest recorded examples of the name is Saint Kyrillos of Alexandria, who lived in the 4th-5th century AD and was the Patriarch of Alexandria from 412 to 444 AD.

In the 9th century, there was a renowned scholar and Christian theologian named Kyrillos, who, along with his brother Methodios, is credited with creating the Glagolitic alphabet and translating religious texts into the Slavic language.
