Mira is a feminine given name with varying meanings. In the Romance languages, it is related to the Latin word ''mirus'' for 'wonder' and 'wonderful'.[1][2][3] In Slavic languages, it means 'peace' and is often used as part of a longer name, such as Miroslava (masculine form: Miroslav), Mirjana, or Sławomira (masculine form: Sławomir). In Albanian, it means 'goodness' or 'kindness'. In Sanskrit, it means 'ocean', 'sea', 'limit', or 'boundary'.[4] It is sometimes also a short form of other given names.
