Mirah Origin and Meaning

The name Mirah is a girl's name.

Mirah is a feminine name with diverse cultural origins. In Hebrew, it can be related to 'Meira' meaning 'light' or 'to shine,' while some connect it to the Latin 'mira' meaning 'wonderful' or 'miraculous.' The name also appears in Indonesian contexts with varying meanings. Mirah has gained modest popularity in recent decades as parents seek alternatives to the more common Mira or Myra. The name has a gentle, melodic quality with its soft consonants and flowing sound. American indie musician K. Mirah Yom Tov Zeitlyn (known professionally as Mirah) has brought some recognition to the name in artistic circles. Mirah appeals to parents seeking a name that feels both delicate and substantial, with cross-cultural resonance and a distinctive yet accessible quality.
