The male name Kiril (or Кирил or Кирилл) is a common first name in Slavonic world, in particular in Bulgaria, Macedonia and Russia. It is also well known in Greece but in different forms like Kyriakos

Kiril has 6 variant forms: Cyril, Cyrill, Kirill, Kirillos, Kyril and Kyrill, and a diminutive Kiro (common in the Balkan Sprachbund)

The name comes from the Greek name Κυριλλος (Kyrillos) which derives from Greek κυριος (kyrios) "lord". Saint Cyril of Jerusalem was a 4th-century bishop and a Doctor of the Church. Saint Cyril of Alexandria was a 5th-century theologian. Another Saint Cyril, known as Kiril, was a 9th-century translator and a Byzantine missionary to the Slavs. He, together with his brother Methodius created an alphabet called Glagolica to serve the needs of the Slavic world, translating the Bible into the Church Slavic language. Later, their students created a simpler and graphically usable alphabet, which is known as Cyrilic alphabet and is still used by millions of people.
