Mirai

Mirai is a gender-neutral name with Japanese roots that can have a variety of meanings, depending on which kanji is used to write it. One potential meaning is “bright sun,” reminding baby that they are the main light in your life. Another possible translation is “bright thunder,” reminding baby that they’re a radiant force of nature that deserves to be heard. Some other meanings include “hopeful love,” “charming orchid,” and “fruitful bud,” and many other translations to nourish baby’s spirit. Mirai may also have links to the Spanish word mirar, meaning “admire” or “marvel at,” to remind your bundle of joy that they are worthy of admiration. If baby’s family tree has roots in Brazil, this moniker can also connect them to Miraí, a place in Minas Gerais.
