Miro is also commonly used in the country of Georgia, where it is a unisex name. For men, it is a short form of Mirian whilst for women, it is a short form of Miranda (of a different etymology than the English name Miranda).Miro is written as მირო in Georgian.
This given name was used as an alias by a character, a deeply conflicted young freedom fighter (or terrorist) in the tragic 1980 hostage novel "After the First Death." It was an extremely thought-provoking book, some people actually assigned it to be read by middle school students.
