Meaning & History

Shortened version or nickname of MIRABELLE, MIRABELLA, or MIRIAM in various languages.

It was used by Shannon Hale in her fantasy novel The Princess Academy, in which the main character was named this. She was named for the small, sturdy pink 'miri flowers' that bloomed on mountains, therefore in that context the name meant "flower".
