What is the meaning of the name Mirian ?

The baby name Mirian is a girl name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced MIR-ee-an.

Mirian is Egyptian, Hebrew, Portuguese, Spanish in Origin.

As a feminine name, Mirian is best treated as a Spanish and Portuguese spelling variant of Miriam. The root name is Biblical Hebrew מִרְיָם, usually transcribed Miryam, the form borne by Moses’ sister in the Hebrew Bible. Its literal sense is disputed: a common scholarly proposal connects it with Egyptian mry or mryt, beloved, while older Hebrew folk-etymologies relate it to mar, bitter, or meri, rebellion.

In Christian and Islamic naming, Miriam’s descendants include Maria, Mary, Mariam, and Maryam, with Mirian appearing as a less common Iberian or Latin American spelling. The same spelling also occurs in Georgia as a masculine royal name, notably Mirian III of Iberia; that name belongs to a separate Iranian line from Middle Persian Mihrān, tied to Mihr/Mithra rather than Miriam. In U.S. records, feminine Mirian has remained uncommon beside Miriam and Maryam.
