Well..i googled it, and found:http://www.babynology.com/african/baby-names-girl_F_0_s.html
Claims that it means 'to make happy'But i don't know if that is legit, probably now, because they also list Nevaeh to mean "butterfly", and that is so not true..Also found that it's a place name in EthiopiaMaybe you can google it yourself?! Indy

Hm, that site...Also says Miranda means "miraculous" in Latin.Yeah, I wouldn't put an ounce of trust into this site. It's just another horribly inaccurate Babynames.com clone that doesn't have a drop of etymology in it.
