Mirentxu Origin and Meaning

The name Mirentxu is a girl's name meaning "drop of the sea; bitter; beloved; love".

This alluring Basque name is a diminutive of Miren, a Basque equivalent of Mary. It was most famously used in the mononymous opera Mirentxu by Jesús Guridi. A beautiful name with a distinct ending sound, it's a unique way to honour a Mary, although the "X" sound may lead to some pronunciation issues.
