Cyria

CYRIA sir'-i-a (Kuria):

The word means "lady," feminine of lord, and it is so translated in the King James Version and the text of the Revised Version (British and American) (2John 1:5 the Revised Version, margin). But it is possible that the word is a proper name, and this possibility is recognized by placing Cyria, the usual transliteration of the word, in the margin by the Revised Version (British and American).
