Mireia is the Catalan form of the Provençal Mirèio — derived from the Occitan mirar, meaning "to admire" or "to wonder at." The name was popularised by Frédéric Mistral's 1859 epic poem Mirèio, written in Provençal — for which he received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1904.
Mireia is widely used in Catalonia, Spain, and parts of southern France. It is rising slowly in Western records. Three lyrical syllables and a Nobel-laureate-attributed origin.
Mireia reduces to two — the number of admiration and grace.
