"Lord, master / sun"

From Greek / Persian

Kyra means lady or lord — from the Greek kyrios (lord) or the Persian meaning sun/throne. Kyra Sedgwick starred in The Closer for seven seasons. The name sounds like a Greek island at sunrise: four letters of Mediterranean authority, Persian sunshine, and the detective who always gets the confession.
