Mirna (name)
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". In Circassian culture, Mirna means "This Eye", "Mir" stands for "this" and "Na" stands for "Eye".
