Mira

Mira is a feminine name that will help your little one feel connected to many languages, cultures, and definitions. In Sanskrit, this moniker translates to "sea" or "ocean," reminding your little one just how far your love for them can reach. Hindu mystic and poet Mira Bai (also spelled Mirabai) once bore this title, an individual known for her lifelong devotion to the god Krishna. Perhaps Mira stems from mirŭ, a Slavic element meaning "peace" or "world," symbolizing the love and kindness sweet Mira will show to all. From its Latin roots, Mira can mean "wonderful" as a shortened form of Miranda. Palmira, Adelmira, and other names that end with -mira could also be your inspiration for choosing Mira. Typically pronounced "Meer-ah," Mira is an easy name to say, as The Bump community member gimmietimmies explains, "I love the name Mira. I don't think I've ever heard it pronounced wrong."
