Miriam is a Hebrew name meaning bitter. Miriam was the older sister of Moses who saved his life. There are 15 variations of the name. Two famous people with the name are Miriam Hopkins and Miriam Makeba. I have known several people named Miriam all of whom were very intelligent.

I've known two, both both around 1970, both Jewish. The one I knew well was very very smart, at times in a supercilious way. She preferred to be known as Mimi. (I prefer Miriam myself.) The one I didn't know very well was probably also smart, very pretty. Both had thick dark hair.
I really like the name.

This is a common nane in the middle east., It is actually the name of Jesus's mother in Arabic, the equivalent of the name Mary in English. It's actually a very blessed name.

Without knowing anything of the person who carries the name? I envision a strong, compassionate, regal, and beautiful woman of great stature.
Let me know if that is what you are shooting for.
