History & Origin

The base name Kyrie comes from Greek kyrios, 'lord', best known from the liturgical plea 'Kyrie eleison'. Khyrie keeps that meaning while reshaping the spelling with an added 'h' for an American, contemporary look.

The respelling softens the page-appearance of the word without changing its two-syllable sound. It belongs to the recent trend of taking an established name and personalizing the letters.
