Sun or throne
Syris is a modern variant of Cyrus, which likely derives from the Old Persian name KΕ«ruΕ‘. It is often associated with the Persian word for 'sun' or the Elamite word for 'throne'. The spelling with a 'y' and 's' ending gives it a contemporary, phonetic appeal while retaining its ancient roots.
