It likely derives from the Slavic element 'mir' meaning 'peace' or 'world,' creating a name that essentially conveys 'peaceful' or 'of the world.' The name has a melodious quality with its flowing three-syllable structure. While well-established in Eastern Europe, Mirena remains relatively uncommon in English-speaking countries, giving it a distinctive quality while still being accessible in pronunciation.
