Chirilă

Chirilă is a Romanian surname. It is relatively common in Romania, particularly in the southern and eastern regions of the country. The origin of the name is believed to be derived from the given name Chiril, which is the Romanian form of Cyril. Cyril is a Greek name meaning "lordly" or "masterful." Therefore, Chirilă essentially means "son of Cyril" or "descendant of Cyril" although it doesn't follow the standard Romanian naming convention of adding "-escu" or "-eanu" to form patronymics.
