Mirena is a masculine form of Miren, the Basque equivalent to Mary. It is only used in compound forms: Joseba Mirena, Ion Mirena..."Mirena Masculino
Nombre masculino propuesto en el Santoral publicado por Sabino Arana y Koldo Elizalde. Véase Maria en la lista de nombres femeninos."http://www.euskaltzaindia.net/eoda/izenak.asp?onoma=izenak&hizkuntza=es&testua=mirena

Probably notMirena is one of the many names derived from mir "peace", following the pattern of names like Milena or Slavena.
