Meaning & origin
Miron is a rare but steadily rising name in the United States. First recorded in 1915, it saw a gradual increase in use, though it remained obscure for most of the 20th century. Its trajectory has been consistently rising since 1992, and it reached its peak rank in 2022, the most recent year for which data is available. In 2025, the name had a 1-in-106,755 incidence, placing it well outside the top 1,000. Miron's appeal may lie in its short, strong sound and its connection to the more familiar variant Myron. While it has not broken into any state's top popularity lists, it is a name with a deep European heritage.
Miron is a name of debated origin. It may derive from the Greek 'myron' (μύρον), meaning 'sweet oil' or 'myrrh', a fragrant resin used in ancient times. The name has been used across Eastern Europe, particularly in Poland, Ukraine, and Russia, often as a given name in Orthodox Christian communities. It has also appeared as a surname.
