Thinking about the name
Miran
Sanskrit origin
“A unisex name with potential Sanskrit roots (miran can mean 'to shine' or relate to 'Mira'), or connections to Persian/Turkish naming traditions. Its brevity and gender-neutral quality make it appealing to modern parents seeking names without strict gendered associations. The name carries an international sophistication.”
