What about the missing link, the Latin form cyriaca?

Is this theory now obsolete? It is certainly not very satisfactory to
derive the Germanic word from a Latin word that is not known to have
existed but whose existence is deduced from the fact that there is a
Germanic word supposedly derived from it — a perfect example of
circular reasoning!
