Meaning & origin
Mirjana is a South Slavic name with deep roots in the region, particularly in Serbia, Croatia, and Bosnia. The name derives from the Slavic element 'mir', meaning peace or world, and has been a staple in Slavic naming traditions for centuries. In the United States, Mirjana has never broken into the top 1000 names, with its peak year in 1980.

The name is almost exclusively given to girls, and its top associations are with cultural heritage from the Balkans.
