Kuruvilla

Kuruvila or Kuruvilla is a given masculine name (and also as a surname/lastname where the complete name format is 'X' son of 'Y', and a traditional surname is not used), among the Syriac Christian community of Kerala. The Western equivalent is Cyril (also Cyrillus or Cyryl), also used as a masculine given name. It is derived from the Greek name Κύριλλος (Kýrillos) meaning "Lordly, Masterful", which in turn derives from Greek κυριος (kýrios) "lord". So Kuruvila means "the one belonging to the lord."
