Kyrre

Kyrre is a masculine given name of Norwegian origin. It is most commonly found in Norway and among people of Norwegian descent, where it has a long-standing presence in Nordic naming traditions.

The etymology of Kyrre is not clearly documented. It is generally regarded as part of Old Norse–influenced naming patterns, but a specific meaning is not widely agreed upon in available sources. The name appears in historical records and has continued to be used in modern times, though it remains relatively uncommon overall.

In contemporary use, Kyrre is primarily seen as a traditional given name rather than a surname. It is associated with Norwegian-speaking communities and may appear in literature, official records, and personal usage within Norway and among the Norwegian diaspora.
