Miriana

Miriana is an Italian feminine name, most likely a variant of Miriana's close relatives Miriana and Miriam, ultimately deriving from the Hebrew root whose precise meaning is debated but commonly interpreted as beloved, sea of bitterness, or drop of the sea. It functions as an elaborated or regional Italian form, sharing its lineage with Maria and the broader family of Marian names that spread throughout Europe through Christian veneration of the Virgin Mary. Related forms include Miriam, Maria, Mariana, and Miriam.
