Everything about the name MIARA

Meaning, origin, history

Miara is a unique and enchanting name of Hebrew origin. It means "rebellious" or "contender," reflecting strength and determination. The name has its roots in the Bible, where it appears as a variant spelling of the name Miriam, which was the sister of Moses and Aaron in the Old Testament. In the Hebrew culture, Miriam is often associated with music and dance, being mentioned as playing a tambourine and leading women in song and dance after their successful crossing of the Red Sea. Miara, therefore, carries the same historical significance but offers a more modern and distinctive twist on this classic name. Its rarity makes it stand out, yet its Hebrew origin gives it a rich cultural heritage that spans centuries.
