Meaning: Songlike; lyre

Lyric is a gender-neutral name of Greek and French origin, meaning “songlike” or “lyre.” In Greek, this name is derived from the word lyrikos, meaning “lyric” and “of the lyre.” In French, Lyric is also tied to the lyre, an ancient string instrument. Like Cadence, Harmony, and Aria, the melodic moniker Lyric will surely appeal to any parent with an affinity for musical names.
