Mirren is a gender-neutral name with multiple potential origins and meanings. A variant of the Irish name Mirín, it can be a diminutive version of the word mear and mean “little lively one.” If you can already sense that you’re little one is going to be an exciting ball of energy throughout their life, this can be a perfect fit. Mirren can also have links to the Norwegian last name Myren and Old Norse word mýrr, meaning “bog” or “wetland.” If baby’s first home will be near the wetlands, or if you want them to have a strong connection to both water and land, Mirren can make for a great fit. If you’ve got a love for theater and film, Mirren can also connect baby to iconic actress Helen Mirren. With her decades of versatile roles, she can always inspire your little one to be a thespian in their own right.
