History & Origin

Mirranda is a spelling of Miranda that simply doubles the r. It never caught on the way the standard form did, touching a quiet high around 1995 before fading by the mid two-thousands.

Even at its best it was given to only a couple dozen girls a year, so a girl named Mirranda at that peak would be about thirty today. The extra r marks it as a personal-touch respelling rather than a distinct name.

Did you know? The parent name Miranda is one of literature's clearest inventions: Shakespeare shaped it from Latin mirandus for the wonder-struck young woman of The Tempest, and the meaning 'admirable' has clung to it ever since.
