Located in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea in the Middle East, Cyprus is a beautiful island country with beautiful scenic beauty. If you are looking for a name, Cyprus baby girl names could be a perfect choice with meaningful significance. Whether you are from Cyprus or any nearby country, or you like this country, you may select a Cyprus name from this post to show your interest and preference towards their culture and scenic beauty.

Since Cyprus is majorly divided among the Turkish and Greek Cypriots, Cyprus names usually have Greek and Turkish origins. The Turkish-originated names mainly consist of Muslim names, such as Ada, and Marina, while those of Greek origins are Biblical names, Annita, and Maria, as they mainly adhere to the Greek Orthodox Church (1). The naming tradition of Greek Cypriots differs from that of Turkish Cypriots. The Greek Cypriots have a given name followed by a patronymic name and family name. They often use the paternal grandfather's name as the first name for the first-born son, like Greeks. Turkish Cypriots have a personal name followed by a surname, similar to the traditional Turkish naming practices. However, men usually take their father’s name as their surname, and women and children generally adopt their husband/father’s name as a surname (2). Also, a study on Cyprus names showed that most female names are of Western origin. With the current changes in naming traditions, the Westernized versions of the traditional names are being adopted (3).
