Just as internationally appealing as its feminine form, Mira, Miran is a name with multiple origins that is popular in Turkey, Azerbaijan, The Netherlands, and the UK. 
 As a Slovene and Croatian name, it is one of many derived from the Slavic root mir meaning "peace, world". In this case, it appears as both Miran and Mirko. 
 
In Arabic, Persian, and Kurdish, however, it derives from the title Mir, meaning "prince", "general" or "ruler", linking it to names such as Mirza and Amir.
 
In Hebrew, it is an alternative spelling for the unisex name Meiran, a compound name created by blending Meital or Meir with Ran, to generate meanings such as "joyful like a drew drop" or "to sing of light".
 
Alternative possibilities include Miran being an Albanian name, meaning "benevolence", an Afghan name inspired by the town of the same name, a Japanese unisex name meaning "future sound", or an alternative way of writing the Korean feminine name, Mi-Ran, meaning "beautiful orchid".
