Kuruvilla (also spelled as Kuruvila) is a Christian first name from Kerala, South India. The name is also used as a surname. Its root is traced to the Syriac name Coorilos and Greek names Cyril (also Cyrillus or Cyryl) and Kyrios (κύριος), which may mean 'of God, Lord or Master' or in the Christian context Jesus. So the etymological meaning of Kuruvilla is "the one who belongs to the Lord.". It is a common surname among Knanaya Jacobite Christians who traces their endogamous traditions back to AD 345.
