Kyrie

Kyrie means "Greek kyrios, lord" and comes from Greek, giving it real etymological depth as a gender-neutral name. It has been climbing steadily, peaking most recently in the 2010s. Today, it is on the rarer side without being unusual in the registry. 2017 was this name's high-water mark in the U.S. birth records.
