Meaning & origin
Miro is a short, strong name with Slavic roots meaning 'peace' or 'world'. In the U.S., it first appeared on the records in 1915 but remained rare for decades. Its recent resurgence began around 2005, and by 2025 it reached its peak rank of 3949, with about 1 in 63,262 male births. The name is most popular in New York and California, reflecting its appeal in culturally diverse states. While Miro is most commonly a boy's name, its simplicity and melodic sound give it a unisex quality that appeals to modern parents. Its brevity and positive meaning make it an easy fit across many naming styles.
Miro is a short form of Slavic names beginning with Mir-, such as Miroslav (meaning 'peace and glory') or Vladimir (meaning 'to rule with peace'). The element mir(u) means 'peace' or 'world' in many Slavic languages. In Spanish and Portuguese, Miro exists as a given name derived from the verb mirar ('to look'), though this is less common. The name has been used across Central and Eastern Europe, particularly in Croatia, Serbia, and the Czech Republic. It gained moderate international attention in the 1990s and early 2000s.
