A Persian name meaning 'sun' or 'throne,' most famously borne by Cyrus the Great, founder of the Persian Empire.
From Old Persian 'Kūruš,' possibly meaning 'sun' or related to the concept of lordship. The name entered Greek as 'Kyros' and later Latin as 'Cyrus.'
Cyrus the Great created the first charter of human rights - the Cyrus Cylinder from 539 BCE - which declared religious freedom and abolished slavery, making him remarkably progressive for ancient times.
