Meanings and history of the name Kyrielle: | Edit

Meaning is "poetess;" the word "Kyrielle" is in fact a type of poem that deals with praise to God.

A kyrielle is a type of troubadour poem that originated in France in the Middle Ages. It doesn't actually mean "poetess." The word originally comes from the Greek Kyrie, which means "Lord," via the Christian prayer "Kyrie, eleison, Christe, eleison" ("Lord, have mercy, Christ, have mercy"). Kyrielle has since come to refer to a type of poetic *structure*; the poem doesn't have to be religious, although it can be.
