I've never heard of it as a name before, but both "Cy" and "ess" have got namey associations. Definitely only for a girl - "ess" is not an ending for a boy's name, and botanical names are girl's names (by convention).

I'd pair it with something normal, that is unquestionably a woman's name. Cypress Katherine, Cypress Gabrielle ... Maybe something more unusual, like Cypress Romana, Cypress Leontina, Cypress Lucienne.
