I didn’t know that ‘Mira’ has a lot of meaning. I think I am lucky that my mom named me Mira because, honestly, I really don’t know where my mom derived my name.?

Hi. My name is also Mira. My friend ana commented too about my name and how we were friends. My name does have so many meanings and I love it soo much! But the rest of what she said is completely not true. Sorry if you saw what she wrote.

My husband and I love the name Mira for lots of reasons. It has different meanings in many different countries: Scandinavia, Spain, Italy, Japan, Korea, and India. It also has roots in Latin, Sanskrit, Slavic, and Hebrew languages. We like the universality of the name. It sounds beautiful and the primary meanings are “wondrous beauty” and “of the sea.”

We thoughts we lost her multiple times during that pregnancy. Every time it was like a relive. Being waiting for her for 5years. Had some miscariages along the way. She is a blessing and a true Miracle. That is why we cut ‘Mira’
