Meaning and background

The story behind Kyro

Kyro is a contemporary English spelling of Cairo, pronounced KYE-roh. Cairo is first of all a geographical name, so its deeper Arabic associations belong to the place-name story rather than to an independently attested ancient personal name called Kyro. The spelling gives an established city-derived name a shorter, sharper appearance.

Origin
Modern English spelling variant of Cairo, derived from the city name. Source
Pronunciation
KYE-roh (/ˈkaɪ.ɹoʊ/). Source
