Hi, We are thinking to name our baby girl Mira or Eva. I found them throughout islamic names websites. But couldn't make sure if they are appropriate for muslim name. Can you advise me about that?
Answer
Mira, pronounced [(MEE)t] + [(RU)n] with emphasis on the first syllable, is a Persian word that means "female leader", "female ruler", "queen-like", it is taken from the Arabic word Amira, which is an Islamic name, therefore you can consider Mira an Islamic name as well. Since it has a good meaning you can use it. You can also pronounce it with a long "a" as in Miraa if you like.
For Eva please see: Eva
