Ciri is a Slavic girl's name, derived from the word "cyra," which means "lord" or "master." It gained popularity through the works of Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski in his "Witcher" series, where Cirilla, often shortened to Ciri, plays a significant role as the Princess of Cintra and the prophesied Child of Destiny. The name has since been adopted by some parents seeking unique and meaningful names for their daughters.
The name Ciri experienced a peak in popularity with 8 births each in both 2009 and 2016, but has since declined slightly with 6 births recorded in recent years (2021, 2022). Overall, there were 59 babies named Ciri born between 1982 and 2022.
