Miracle is the English word used as a name; it comes from the Latin miraculum, "wonder" or "marvel", from mirari, to wonder at. Parents often choose it after a difficult pregnancy or for a long-hoped-for child, which gives the name an intensely personal meaning. Miracle has been in the US top 1000 since 2000, peaked at number 366 in 2017 and ranks number 492 in 2025.
