Mira

Mira carries distinct origins in multiple language families. In South Asian traditions, it derives from Sanskrit, meaning "sea" or "ocean," and is famously associated with the 16th-century Hindu poet-saint Mirabai, a devoted bhakti mystic celebrated for her hymns to Krishna. In Slavic languages, Mira functions as both an independent name and a short form of longer compound names beginning with the element mir, meaning "peace" or "world," such as Miroslava and Mirjana. The Hungarian form Míra similarly serves as a diminutive of names containing this peaceful root, and the name also overlaps with the Latin word mira, meaning "wonderful," connecting it to forms like Miranda and Mirabel.
