Mirela is a Southern and Eastern European feminine given name with a Latin origin, cognate to Mirella.
It is known as "the musical name" because it is made up of the notes of the scale: Mi, Re, and La. Its origin is the Italian version of the French and Occitan given names Mireille or Mirèlha, related to the Occitan verb “mirar”, meaning "to look, to admire" which derives from the Latin "admīror", that means "admire, to respect, to appreciate".[citation needed]
