It's probably originally Kyprien and the spelling got changed (but both spellings would sound the same). Kyprien is German for Cypria....something to do with the Greek people. The name probably goes way back and was mangled.

Cyprian is a native of Cyprus (half Greek, half Turkish). The German word for Cyprus is Zypern.
