Myrena is Greek in Origin.
Myrena is a rare modern feminine name likely formed by blending or respelling older roots. It most closely aligns with Greek Myrina (name of an Amazon queen and an ancient Aeolian city) and with Irene (Greek Eirene, “peace”). Many also read it as a tailored offshoot of Marina (“of the sea,” from Latin marinus) or of Myra, which carries associations with “myrrh.” Through these routes, Myrena gathers layered meanings: peace, sea, fragrance, and classical strength.
Usage appears sporadically from the late 20th century in English-speaking countries, remaining uncommon and thus distinctive. It has no fixed traditional feast day or standardized form, encouraging creative spellings. Related variants include Mirena, Myrina, Mireena, and Myreena; short forms include Myra, Mira, and Rena. Cross-cultural cousins are Marina, Mirna/Mira (from Slavic mir, “peace; world”), and Irene, all of which shape how Myrena is interpreted.
Myrena is about as rare as a name gets. In all, it appears just 6 times, across 5 countries.
