Myrah

There’s no denying this feminine name’s otherworldly appeal, likely because of its connection to the afterlife. Myrah is an eloquent name derived from the Greek and Latin word for myrrh, a sweet-scented oil used to anoint those who have passed away in several religious traditions. As a form of Myra, Myrah is also considered a close anagram of Mary from the Hebrew Miriam, meaning “bitterness,” “beloved,” “rebelliousness,” and “wished for a child.” Myrah has a reverent nature, from its sacred use in honoring the circle of life to its link to Mary, a name celebrated in the Christian faith.
