Re: What does the Indian name Mira mean?
Well, what is one person's Urdu is another's Hindi. The root probably came from Persian, which borrowed it from Arabic amr to command, and used it to mean princely, rich, etc. The star name mira comes from latin and means wonderful (cognate with English smile) but that is probably not the origin of the name of the female saint.
