Aamir Khan Names Jwala Gutta's Baby Mira: Why It Is Such A 'Thoughtful Name'

It's not every day that a Bollywood icon helps name your child, but for athlete Jwala Gutta and actor Vishnu Vishal, their daughter's name carries the thoughtful imprint of none other than Aamir Khan himself. The couple recently revealed that Aamir visited them in Hyderabad and also chose the name "Mira" for their baby girl.

The proud parents, Jwala and Vishal, took to Instagram to share a heartwarming series of photos featuring Aamir holding little Mira, spending time with the family, and even posing for a happy group shot. Vishnu's son Aryan also joined the family celebration.

Jwala shared a heartfelt message alongside the pictures, writing: "Our 'Mira'! Couldn't have asked for more!! This journey would have been impossible without you, Aamir!! We love you ❤️ PS: Thank you for the beautiful name!!!!"

What does the name 'Mira' mean?

"Mira" is a simple yet rich name that carries multiple meanings across cultures, each with their own significance:

In Sanskrit, "Mira" means "ocean", "limit", or "boundary", evoking depth, strength, and vastness.

In Latin and Romance languages, it stems from the word "mirus", meaning "wonder" or "wonderful".

In Slavic languages, "Mira" translates to "peace", often used in longer names like "Miroslava" or "Mirjana".

In Albanian, it denotes "goodness" or "kindness".

The name also shares historical ties with Meera Bai, the 16th-century Hindu mystic poet and princess known for her devotion to Lord Krishna.

Given the name's cross-cultural richness and deep meaning, it’s no wonder that Aamir, someone known for thoughtful storytelling, chose it.
