Origin:French
Other Origin(s):Latin
Meaning:Lyric; Songlike; Of the lyre
Lyrica is a feminine name of French and Latin origins, meaning “lyric,” “songlike,” or “of the lyre.” As an elaborated version of the English word lyric, Lyrica could be the perfect choice for a little one who expresses themselves through song and melody. In Latin, the term lyricus translates to “of the lyre,” referring to the stringed musical instrument often played by the Ancient Greeks. Apollo, the Greek god of prophecy and music, was often depicted with a lyre, so it became a symbol of wisdom and moderation in Greek mythology. Choosing Lyrica for your little one might just encourage their natural love of music and perhaps a musical fluency akin to Apollo’s.
