The name ''Kyras'' can be traced back to the Lafaric migrations, who brought in their language, culture and customs. They named their newly found land, ''كثيرغرسة'' (''Kaṯir-ġarsa''), from the words ''كثير'' (''kaṯir'') meaning 'many', and ''غرسة'' (''ġarsa'') meaning 'trees' or 'plants' referencing to the region's abundance of vegetation from the Yind River basin. It was used by the various ethnic groups and peoples that came to settle in the area as their different languages could not agree on one. As part of the Aradeshi Empire, it was known de jure as ''Jimbo la Kairasa'' meaning 'province of Kyras', even though it was known in Aradeshi as ''Jakijan'', from ''nchi ya kijani'' meaning 'green lands', which is still used by rural populations in the southern deserts. ''Kyras'' was referred to until Anglostian colonisation and was reinstated as the country's official name in 1966 after the deposition of the PON and the First Republic's establishment. | |||

Etymology
Kyras
The name Kyras can be traced back to the Lafaric migrations, who brought in their language, culture and customs. They named their newly found land, كثيرغرسة (Kaṯir-ġarsa), from the words كثير (kaṯir) meaning 'many', and غرسة (ġarsa) meaning 'trees' or 'plants' referencing to the region's abundance of vegetation from the Yind River basin. It was used by the various ethnic groups and peoples that came to settle in the area as their different languages could not agree on one. As part of the Aradeshi Empire, it was known de jure as Jimbo la Kairasa meaning 'province of Kyras', even though it was known in Aradeshi as Jakijan, from nchi ya kijani meaning 'green lands', which is still used by rural populations in the southern deserts. Kyras was referred to until Anglostian colonisation and was reinstated as the country's official name in 1966 after the deposition of the PON and the First Republic's establishment.
