Cyrano is French in Origin.

Cyrano is a French given name derived from a surname that became famous through the 17th‑century writer-soldier Savinien de Cyrano de Bergerac. The surname is attested in Gascony by the 16th–17th centuries, and its etymology is debated: many link it to Latin Cyrenaeus, “of Cyrene” (from Greek Kyrenaios), while others analyze it as related to Greek-root names like Cyril/Cyriacus from kyrios, “lord.” Either path yields a meaning of “man from Cyrene” or “belonging to the Lord.”

Usage as a first name spread after Edmond Rostand’s 1897 play Cyrano de Bergerac, cementing the name’s dashing, eloquent image. It remains uncommon but recognizable in France and occasionally in the Netherlands, Belgium, and English-speaking countries as a literary choice. Documented variants include Cyran (Fr.), Cirano (It./Sp./Pt.), Cyriano, and Sirano; a rare feminine form Cyrana appears. Related names include Cyril, Cyriac, and Kyriakos.
