Origin and meaning of Mirta
Mirta comes from the Greek myrtos, the 'myrtle', an evergreen, fragrant shrub that in antiquity was sacred to Aphrodite and a symbol of love and beauty. The name thus evokes grace, freshness and faithfulness. Found in Italy and, as Mirtha, in Spanish-speaking countries, it remains a fairly rare, poetic name. Its charm lies in its link to Mediterranean nature and in its short, crisp, delicately floral sound.
