Meaning & Origin
Zyrus is a boy's baby name, a variant of Cyrus, from Persian origin meaning 'sun' or 'throne,' borne by Cyrus the Great — founder of the Achaemenid Persian Empire and celebrated in the Hebrew scriptures as the king who freed the Jewish people from Babylonian captivity. The Z-spelling gives it a modern, assertive edge.
Zyrus maintains the imperial Persian heritage of Cyrus while the Z-initial transforms it into something that feels entirely contemporary — strength and history repackaged for a new generation.
