Re: Miara
in reply to a message by duganjames
I spoke again with Miara, my chatroom friend who has the same name as my granddaughter. Miara told me that her aunt told her that the name is derived from the word, myrrh. I've looked up the etymology of the word, myrrh, and it seems plausible: Greek, myrrha. But I can't confirm this in any name dictionary I've been able access.
