Miraflor is not a Spanish first name, it is a place name (a national reserve in Nicaragua) and a more usual place name when it is in the plural form Miraflores. It comes from the Spanish mira+flores, "(the place which)sees the flowers".

---

The variation Myraflor is impossible in Spanish, it is only a mistake, because in Spanish the letter Y is only a consonant or the conjonction y, "and", but it can never be used as vowel.

---

Moreover, the derivation from "milagrosa flordeliza" as Spanish origin is not correct.
First, flordelisa (which should be the correct form in Spanish) is not a Spanish word; the Spanish word is "flor de lis".
Since Flordelisa is found as first name, one could think in "milagrosa Flordelisa" (a saint named Flordelisa well-known because of her miracles), but there is not any saint/blessed/venerable Flordelisa.

---

And in the case of "milagrosa Flordelisa" or "milagrosa flor de lis" as the original forms, the derivation must be Milaflor, not Miraflor (in Spanish, L and R are two very different and differentiated sounds).

---

So, Miraflor is just a place name used as first name or a made up name (with Spanish elements).
