The name appears appears in at least one historical building: the former parish church of Saint-Cyr, also known as San Chirgo, now the funerary chapel of the Colonna family, in Arro, Corse-du-Sud.Thus, Chirgo is likely the Corsican adaptation of the French name Cyr, itself derived from the Latin Cyriacus.
