Meaning & background
(mee-YOO): a soft, airy name often linked with beauty or gentleness depending on the writing. I have always thought this one feels especially graceful without becoming fragile. It makes its debut in American naming data in 1995. It now sits outside the national top 1,000, which keeps it uncommon. Roughly 240 people have been given the name to date — a true rarity.
