Miran

Boy name · 7 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Miran: 7 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 4 births in 2025.

Miran has strong Slavic origins, rooted in the word 'mir' meaning 'peace' or 'world', giving it a serene and universal appeal. While not a traditional Scottish name, it has found a place among families in Scotland who appreciate its cross-cultural resonance. Notable bearers include Slovenian footballer Miran Pavlin, capped for his national team, and Croatian ski jumper Miran Tepeš, an Olympian. The name also appears in Persian tradition, where it can carry regal overtones, though the Slavic meaning remains most familiar in a Scottish context. As a variant, Miran shares its root with the popular feminine name Mira and the masculine Mirko, all connected by a peaceful heritage. Its short, melodic sound makes it a distinctive choice that bridges cultures.
