Cyril
Eastern Orthodox saint
Cyril is a masculine given name of Greek origin, meaning "lordly" or "masterful." It was borne by several early Christian saints, including Saint Cyril of Alexandria and Saint Cyril who helped create the Cyrillic alphabet.
The name has old-fashioned associations in English-speaking countries: Uncle Cyril always wore a three-piece suit.
