Presumably why it's called cyrillic. Never knew that!

I'm not actually sure about that, Ros?
I think Glagolitic script is older than Cyrillic script- although using some of its letters.
It may be though that the later script did take St Cyril's name, even though he devised the earlier script?
Certainly sound likely/ feasible, doesn't it?
