Mirren Name Meaning and Origin
Mirren is of Scottish origin and is predominantly used as a feminine name, though it can occasionally be unisex. It is derived from Saint Mirin (or Mirren), the patron saint of Paisley in Scotland, making it deeply rooted in Scottish history and Christian tradition. The name is often associated with qualities of devotion and gentleness due to its saintly connections. Additionally, it has been linked to Gaelic forms of the name Marion or Mary, which mean “beloved” or “wished-for child.” Mirren’s elegant simplicity and cultural richness have contributed to its growing appeal as a modern given name.
