What is the meaning of the name Miro ?

The baby name Miro is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced English: /ˈmiːroʊ/ (MEE-roh),Slavic (Croatian/Slovene): /ˈmi.ro/ (MEE-ro),Spanish/Catalan: /ˈmiɾo/ (MEE-ro, tapped r).

Miro is Slavic in Origin.

Miro is a masculine given name widely used across South and West Slavic languages (Croatian, Slovene, Slovak, Czech, Bulgarian, Serbian, Macedonian), typically a short form of names built on the Slavic element mir, meaning “peace” or “world,” such as Miroslav/Mirosław and Miroslava. As an independent name it conveys senses like “peaceful” or “bringer of peace.” It entered broader European circulation in the late 20th century through cultural exchange and diaspora communities and is also familiar in Finland and Estonia via Slavic influence. In Māori, miro names a native conifer and the act of twisting thread, a separate etymology that occasionally inspires modern nature-based usage.

Variants and related forms include Mirko (South Slavic/Italian), Mirek (Polish), Miron, Miroslav/Mirosław, and Miroslava; feminine counterparts are Mira and Mirka. Spellings generally remain Miro across languages, with Miró found in Catalan contexts (better known as a surname).
