Greek, "lyre"

Literary: today’s parents grew up reading Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy with its spirited heroine.
Astronomical: Lyra is a constellation in the northern night sky.
Musical: the lyre was an iconic instrument in Ancient Greece and beyond – it’s where we get the word “lyric” from.
Stylish: it’s easy to see the resemblance to Laura, Lara, Kyra, et al. These examples are past their peak popularity, but Lyra is a fresh take for a new generation.
