Mirna (Croatian/Mirna Serbian/Мирна) is a female name common among Croats and Serbs. Derived from the Slavic element mir, Mirna means "peaceful." It is often confused with the name 'Myrna' (/myrrhna/), which is not Slavic in origin, but Celtic and means "beloved", also "tender".
The name is also used in the Middle East, particularly in Lebanon, where it is pronounced "Meer-na".
