Mireille

Mireille is a lyrical and sophisticated name of French origin, derived from the Occitan word 'mirar', meaning 'to admire'. It’s not commonly used outside of Francophone countries, retaining a certain air of exclusivity and charm. Mireille Mathieu, a famed French singer, has been a notable bearer of this beautiful name. In English-speaking countries, Mireille might be a bit of a mouthful at first, but it certainly grows in elegance. The common nickname for Mireille is Mimi. If Mireille seems a bit complex, you might like the simpler Mireille’s cousin, Mira.
