1. 1米蘭達(《暴風雨》裡 Prospero 的女兒)

    Miranda is the young woman in Shakespeare’s play The Tempest: she is ’s daughter. She has grown up on an island with almost nobody else, so when new people arrive she is — her famous line is about a “brave new world.” Shakespeare made the name for her. In Latin, mirandus means “someone you can admire,” and he gave that meaning a girl’s form. Though actually, you will also meet Miranda as an ordinary first name, and as a family name in Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian, from places called Miranda. Those are later lives of the same shape of word; here we are talking about the girl in the play.

組成Coined by Shakespeare from Latin mirandus, “admirable.” The surname Miranda is separately from Romance place-names (Spanish, Portuguese, Italian).
