The perfect name for your wild-spirited newborn, Mirian is a diamond in the rough. Commonly believed to be a Spanish variant of the Hebrew title, Miriam, which in turn derives from Mary. The meaning of these names is relatively unknown—however*,* “sea of bitterness” and “rebelliousness”  are some of the meanings attributed to the titles. Mirian could also be of Egyptian origin, from the term mry, meaning “beloved.” Despite the contradicting meanings, Mirian will certainly be a beautiful name to behold.
