Miranda Forename Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
A female name. Latin miranda ‘worthy to be admired’. Apparently invented by Shakespeare for the heroine of The Tempest, ‘admired Miranda’. It is found at Rochdale in 1687 and in New England in 1827, and like other Shakespearian names (e.g. Cordelia, Hero, Imogen, Juliet) has been used a good deal in England in the present century.
— The Oxford Dictionary of Christian Names (1947) by E. G. Withycombe
Latin, ‘worthy of admiration,’ from mirari, ‘to admire.’ Its heyday was the late C16-17, and its survival in C19-20 (though it now verges on being a relic) must be, in part, attributed to the freshness and charm exhaled by the heroine of Shakespeare’s Tempest.
— Name This Child (1959) by Eric Partridge
A Latin name, meaning: Admirable.
