What is the meaning of the name Mirella ?

The baby name Mirella is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced mee-REL-uh (IPA: /miˈrɛlə/; Italian: /miˈrɛlːa/).

Mirella is Italian in Origin.

Mirella is an Italian feminine name formed with the affectionate suffix -ella on the base mira-, from Latin mirari “to wonder, to admire.” It can function as a diminutive of Mira or Miranda, carrying meanings such as “admirable,” “little wonder,” or “worthy of admiration.” The mira- root also links it to the Provençal/French line Mireille (Occitan Mirèio) and to the pan-Romance verb mirar “to look, behold.”

Documented in Italy from the late 19th century, Mirella gained broader visibility in the mid-20th century, notably through the celebrated soprano Mirella Freni, and remains familiar in Italian and Italian-diaspora communities. Close variants include Mirela (Romanian, Croatian, Portuguese), Mireia (Catalan), Mireya or Mirella in Spanish, and French Mireille; related short forms are Mira, Ella, and Lella. In Slavic contexts the base name Mira may instead derive from mir “peace; world,” giving Mirella an additional, peace-tinged resonance.
