Etymology

Cyrilla comes from a woman's form of the name Cyril, which goes back to the Greek word kyrios meaning 'lord'. A helpful way to remember it is that the shrub was named after a person, so cyrilla is a plant name that sounds like a woman's name and fits its elegant clusters of white flowers and bright leaves.
