Mirjami

Mirjami is a Finnish feminine name, a vernacular form of Miriam, the Hebrew name whose precise origin is debated but is commonly associated with roots meaning beloved or wished-for child, and possibly connected to Egyptian or Semitic elements relating to the sea or bitterness. It entered Finnish use as a localized adaptation of the biblical name borne by the sister of Moses. Related forms include Miriam, Miriama, and Mirja, the latter being a shorter Finnish cognate that shares the same heritage.
