Kyriee is a creative spelling of Kyrie, from the Greek Kyrios meaning lord or master. The word is most famously known from the liturgical phrase Kyrie eleison (Lord, have mercy), used in Christian worship since the early church. The name gained secular prominence through NBA star Kyrie Irving.
The name Kyrie surged in the US largely due to NBA player Kyrie Irving, who became a household name after his Cleveland Cavaliers championship in 2016. The alternate spelling Kyriee emphasizes the name's modern, customized feel.
In Greek Orthodox and Catholic traditions, Kyrie is a sacred liturgical term. In American basketball culture, Kyrie Irving has made the name synonymous with exceptional skill and individualism.
