Mirna is a girl's name with multiple origins and oodles of good vibes. First, it's rooted in the Irish name Myrna, originally Muirne, meaning "beloved" and "affection." This beautiful name is shared with the mother of Finn McCool, a hero in Irish mythology. As the story goes, Fionn forged a path of stepping stones from the Irish coast to Scotland—known affectionately as the Giant's Causeway. Mirna also has Slavic roots with an equally intriguing meaning of "peaceful” and "calm." Perhaps baby will channel those last ones at naptime!
