Mirandah is Latin in Origin.

Mirandah is a modern respelling of Miranda, derived from the Latin mirandus, meaning "admirable," "wonderful," or "worthy of admiration." The final h is a stylistic flourish common in contemporary Anglophone naming and does not alter pronunciation (mi-RAN-duh). The name entered broad use via Shakespeare's The Tempest (1611), whose heroine Miranda embodied innocence and awe; that literary association propelled adoption across the English-speaking world and later informed usage in parts of Europe and the Americas. In the United States, Miranda rose sharply in the late twentieth century before tapering in the 2000s, with Mirandah appearing sporadically as a distinctive variant.
