Mirta is Latin, Spanish in Origin.
Mirta is a feminine given name rooted in the Mediterranean word for the myrtle plant: Latin myrtus, from Greek myrtos. In Spanish and Italian, mirto means myrtle, and in Croatian the plant is called mirta; the name likely arose independently in these languages as a nature-derived choice. The myrtle has long symbolized love, fidelity, and good fortune through its association with Aphrodite/Venus and its role in wedding garlands.
Use of Mirta is found across Croatia and the western Balkans, in Italy, and throughout Spanish-speaking countries - especially the Southern Cone and the Caribbean - where the variant Mirtha became familiar in the mid‑20th century (e.g., Argentine host Mirtha Legrand, Cuban poet Mirta Aguirre). Related forms and cognates include Myrta, Mirthe (Dutch), and English Myrtle; diminutives include Miri and Mirti. Meaning: “myrtle,” a symbol of love, fidelity, and good fortune.
