This is my grandmother's name, and I gave it to my DD as a middle name. Her name is Alana Murrium. I have looked around in books and on the wed, and I have not been able to find this name. I was just curious if anyone else has ever heard of this name or if they knew the meaning. Thanks so much...this board is great!! It makes me want to have another baby, just so I can name it!!LOL!

I haven't heard of it- I've heard of Miriam- that's a Biblical name...

I did a search on Yahoo for Murrium- there are a number of results is the search. Here's one link that mentions a Murrium:

I can't find it anywhere. Maybe it was originally just a creative spelling for Miriam on your family's part. Now it's seen as the "correct" spelling in your family. That's just my guess.
