About the name
Miracle is Latin miraculum, from mirari, to wonder at — the same root as mirror, admire and Miranda. The word names the astonishment rather than the event, which is a subtler idea than the English usage suggests.
It is a genuinely modern American virtue name, almost unused before the 1990s and inside the US top 500 through the 2000s. It is given disproportionately to children whose arrival was difficult, which is worth knowing about the name's register.
Mira is the short form and a separate name of its own. Three syllables want one (Miracle Rose, Miracle Jane). On our vibe map it is Modern Minimalist with Soft & Dreamy warmth.
