History & Origin

Mirari is the Basque word for 'miracle,' used as a girls' name. It belongs to the distinctively Basque practice of drawing given names from Marian titles and from Basque vocabulary, a movement encouraged by writers and nationalists in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries who wanted names in the Basque language rather than Spanish equivalents. Mirari, Maite, Edurne and Amaia all come out of that revival. We present it with respect for its devotional sense (said 'mee-RAH-ree').

It appears only in very small numbers in the U.S. Rare, devotional, and Basque.

Did you know? Many Basque girls' names come from titles of the Virgin - Edurne for snow, Amaia, Mirari for miracle - a whole naming tradition built from devotion.
