Miwa is Japanese in Origin.

Miwa is a Japanese given name, primarily feminine, and also a surname whose meaning varies by kanji. Popular given-name spellings include 美和 "beauty and harmony," 美羽 "beautiful feather/wing," 美環 "beautiful circle," and 実和 "true or fruitful harmony." As a family name it is commonly written 三輪, "three rings/wheels." The name may also appear in kana as みわ or ミワ, and is romanized Miwa.

As a surname Miwa is place-derived, associated with the Miwa area of Nara and Mount Miwa, home to Omiwa (Ōmiwa) Shrine, among the oldest Shinto sites - associations that lend the name antiquity and sacred overtones. As a given name it became widespread in 20th-century Japan and remains familiar today. Variants and related forms include Miwako (美和子), adding the classical -ko "child" suffix. Across kanji choices, the prevailing ideas are beauty, peace, wholeness, and gentleness; the 三輪 surname points instead to circularity or triplicity motifs.
