47 Cyprus Baby Boy Names With Meanings

Nestled in the heart of the Mediterranean, Cyprus boasts a unique blend of history, culture, and enchanting landscapes. This allure extends to Cyprus baby names, each serving as a window into the island's rich heritage and contemporary vibrance. Cyprus baby boy names reflect the island's millennia-spanning history, encompassing Greek, Turkish, and various other cultures’ influences. Back in the past, residents of towns often bestowed names inspired by revered Greek heroes and figures from the Greek War of Independence upon their children. In contrast, those living in rural areas continued to favor names associated with saints and religious figures (1). The adoption of family names became prevalent in Turkey during the 1930s. These surnames replaced the older Turkish naming conventions that were followed in Cyprus at the time. However, a significant portion of the Turkish Cypriot community in Cyprus, including northern Cyprus, still adheres to them. Men do this by adopting their father's given name as their surname, and women and children take their husband’s or father’s given name as their surname. On the other hand, the Greek Cypriot community combined Greek naming practices with newer conventions. They take on a patronymic middle name along with a family name. Men and women add the suffix -ou to this middle name (typically their father’s name) to indicate ‘child of.’ The -os suffix is also common in most Cypriot male-given names, setting them apart from female names (2). Expectant parents seeking Cyprus baby boy names find themselves presented with various choices—from names that pay homage to ancient legends to those that embody the spirit of the island's bustling cities and serene landscapes. Whether rooted in tradition or embracing modernity, each name represents Cyprus's vibrant identity and diverse influences.
