How do you correctly pronounce the Greek surname 'Kyriacou'?

Question

I can guess the basics, eg. that you pronounce the C hard, that it should rhyme with 'moo', but do you put enphasis on the 'ry' or the 'a'?

Answer 1

Kyriacou = Kiriakoo or Kiriacoo = Man's name for "Sunday"

Kyriaki = female version.

Answer 2

It is either Κυριάκου (Kee-ree-A-ku) or Κυριακού (Kee-ree-a-KU)

I've heard both versions of this last name, but I think the second one is more possible. It's definitely not Kee-REE-a-ku

Answer 3

Κυριάκου is written in Greeklish both as Kyriakou and as Kyriacou.

Pronounced as Kee-ree-AH-koo

male name Κυριάκος ( Kyriakos )

female name Κυριακή ( Kyriaki )

Κυριάκου  ( Kyrakou ) is a genitive case of Κυριάκος ( Kyriakos ) and is a common Greek surname.
