Mirra
Meaning of Mirra
Mirra comes from Latin, borrowing its name from the precious resin myrrh cherished in ancient rituals. Pronounced MEER-uh, she slips off the tongue with warm, sunlit ease—and she’s a name that smells as good as it sounds, since myrrh has a way of doing that! Though only twenty baby girls in the U.S. wore Mirra in 2024—placing her near 930—her gentle climb in the charts feels like a soft bloom in a secret garden. She evokes honeyed incense drifting through old-world plazas, promising healing, wonder, and a sprinkle of magic in everyday moments. For parents craving a name that is both timeless and lightly exotic, Mirra sparkles with possibility and invites endless stories.
