Meaning
variant of Kyrie, an invented name from the sounds of Tyree and Kyle
The story
Kyree is a variant of Kyrie, says Behind the Name, and Kyrie is an invented name based on the sounds found in names such as Tyree and Kyle, popularized as a masculine name by the basketball player Kyrie Irving, born in 1992. The K-and-double-e spelling has its own American history, and it is older than the player: about 84 boys in the 1980s, about 970 in the 1990s, about 1,530 in the 2000s, about 3,280 in the 2010s, and about 2,330 so far this decade, with a smaller girls' line alongside. A name built from sounds rather than from a dictionary, a variant spelling that predates its own popularizer, and a record that was already moving years before the arena ever filled.
