Meaning & History

Derived from the Dutch noun mirre meaning "myrrh". Originally, this given name was probably given in reference to goud, wierook en mirre meaning "gold, frankincense and myrrh", the gifts that the Three Magi bestowed upon the newborn Jesus.

In the case of female bearers, sometimes this name can also be a short form of names that start with Mir-, such as Miranda, Miriam and Mirthe.
