Meaning and background
The story behind Ciro
Ciro is an established Italian, Spanish and Portuguese form of Cyrus. That historical relationship is well documented, whereas the ultimate Persian roots of Cyrus require their own careful study. It should not be explained as an Italian adjective just because the spelling looks Romance. Its two short syllables are easy to use in everyday calling, while retaining a genuine personal-name history.
