Mireille is French in Origin.
Mireille (French: mee-RAY) is a French feminine given name derived from Occitan Mirèio (Mistralian) / Mirelha (classical), built on the verb mirar “to look at, admire,” from Latin mirari “to wonder at.” It is commonly interpreted as “to be admired,” “admirable,” or “wondrous,” with occasional folk linkage to Latin miraculum “miracle.”
The name entered wider use through Frédéric Mistral’s celebrated 1859 poem Mirèio and Gounod’s opera Mireille (1864), then rose to fashion in France from the 1940s to the 1970s before declining. It enjoys modest recognition in Francophone regions such as Québec and Belgium, and appears in English-speaking countries as a stylish, continental choice. Related forms include Catalan Mireia, Spanish Mireya, Italian Mirella, and Romanian/Slavic Mirela; short forms may be Miri or Mimi. Nonstandard Anglicized spellings like Mirielle occur, but Mireille remains the standard French form.
