Cyriacus (name)
Cyriacus is a given name of Greek origin. The Greek (''Kyriakos'') means "belonging to the lord". It has strong Christian connotations and is one of the most common names found in Christian inscriptions from ancient Rome. The Latin ''Dominicus'' (whence Dominic) has the same meaning and may originate as a translation of the Greek name.Lidia Becker (2009), ''Hispano-romanisches Namenbuch: Untersuchung der Personennamen vorrömischer, griechischer und lateinisch-romanischer Etymologie auf der Iberischen Halbinsel im Mittelalter (6.–12. Jahrhundert)'' (De Gruyter), pp. 364–365. The reduced form ''Cyricus'' gave rise to the Latin spelling ''Quiricus''. Other derived names include ''Cyrianus'', ''Cyricius'' and ''Cyrillus'' (whence Cyril). Many Latin spelling variants are known: ''Quiriacus'', ''Quiracus'', ''Curiacus'', etc. The feminine form of the name is Cyriaca.
