Meaning and background
The story behind Spyro
Spyro is an anglicized form of Spyros. Following the explicit links leads to Spyridon, whose late Greek history has competing basket and spirit-related explanations in the dictionary. That gives the exact spelling a personal-name route independent of a modern game association. The uncertainty should remain attached to the deeper meaning: selecting fire solely because Spyro resembles another word would bypass the documented naming chain.
