Meaning & Origin of Miro
Meaning: Traditionally 'peace' (as a short form of Miroslav and similar names), though the root may actually mean 'great/famous'.
Origin: Slavic.
A common claim: Popularly said to mean 'peace' or 'world' (as in the famous claim that Vladimir means 'ruler of the world/peace'). Actually: That's the traditional gloss, but linguists increasingly trace the Slavic '-mir' element in these names to an older root meaning 'great, famous' rather than 'peace' or 'world' -- so it's disputed, not settled.
