A brilliant thing about cross-cultural names are all the possible meanings and Mira has many lovely ones. As a Sanskrit name, it means "sea, ocean", while as a Slavic choice, it comes from mirŭ, meaning "peace, world". In Arabic, it comes from the element emir meaning "ruler", whereas in Latin, it borrows from mirus meaning "admirable, wonderful".
 
Additionally, it has its roots in Spanish, Catalan and Hebrew, where it can be used as a short form for Miriam and Mirian ("beloved, drop in the sea"), or as a translation of the Judeo-Spanish word for "myrrh" (mira or mirra), or of the Spanish word for "look" (mirar). 
 
But that's not all. In Albanian, it means "good" or "kind", in Japanese, it means "mirror", and in Korean, it may come from Mi-Rae, meaning "future", or from the word from "mummy", as in, an embalmed body, not a mother. It has also been used as an alternative spelling for Myra (relating to myrrh or Mary), a twist on Moira (the Greek word for the personifications of destiny), and as a short form of Miranda, Elmira, Casimira, Mirabel, and Samira.
