History & Origin

Mirav is a modern Sanskrit-styled formation. The explanations offered for it rest on splitting the name into familiar-looking elements, not on an attested classical source. It also coincides in spelling with the Hebrew name Merav. We give these honestly and note the routes are uncertain (said 'MEE-rav').

It appears only rarely for boys in the U.S., mostly in Indian families. Rare, newly emerging, and neat.

Did you know? Mirav is usually explained by taking it apart — mira and ravi, 'ocean' and 'sun' — but that is a reading rather than a documented origin, and we say so plainly (said 'MEE-rav').
