Miro Origin and Meaning

The name Miro is a boy's name meaning "peace, world".

Miro comes from the Slavic root word mir meaning "peace, world". Sometimes Miro is used as a diminutive of longer names like Miroslav or Vladimir, but it can also be given as a name in its own right. Miro has a wonderful meaning and fits right in with trendy names Arlo and Milo, as well as being an artistic honor name for Spanish painter and sculptor Joan Miró.

There is also an indigenous Australian name Miro. In the Nyungar language, a miro is a type of spear-thrower which propels the aim of a spear. Miro is also a Maori name, after an evergreen tree which is native to New Zealand.
