Meaning and background
The story behind Mirabal
Mirabal is an Aragonese variant of the surname Miraval, from a place in Aragon. The dictionary analyzes the place-name through words for looking, surveying, or admiring and valley. It notes that the surname is now uncommon in Aragon itself and occurs mainly in the Canary Islands within Spain. This combination of local origin and later distribution makes a geographical explanation more precise than a free-standing poetic translation.
