Thinking about the name
Miranda
Latin origin
“From the Latin 'mirandus,' meaning 'worthy of admiration' or 'admirable,' this Renaissance gem was coined by Shakespeare for his heroine in The Tempest. The name carries both classical dignity and literary prestige, evoking wonder and virtue. It enjoyed peak popularity in the late 20th century, particularly boosted by the TV character Miranda Hobbes.”
