Myron is Greek in Origin.

Myron is a Greek masculine name from Ancient Greek Myrōn (Μύρων), ultimately the common noun myron meaning “myrrh,” the perfumed oil used for anointing and sacred chrism. By sense it evokes fragrance, consecration, and the precious resin associated with the Magi, giving it both aesthetic and religious resonance.

The name is borne by the famed 5th-century BCE sculptor Myron of Eleutherae, and by Saint Myron of Crete, which anchored its use in the Greek and wider Orthodox world. Through Byzantine and Slavic channels it appears as Miron in Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, and Romanian, with the affectionate short form Miro in South Slavic languages; English typically keeps the classical spelling Myron. Related feminine forms include Myra. In the English-speaking world the name rose in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and is now uncommon yet dignified, pairing antique roots with a sleek, two-syllable profile.
