25 Names That Mean "Miracle"

Miracles are often seen as inexplicable events that evoke awe. But when it comes to our children, they are the most tangible miracle we can experience. The American poet Maya Angelou captured this in a touching speech.

Our Miracle

"When will our children be taught in school what they truly are? Each of these children should be told: Do you know what you are? You are a miracle! You are unique!

There is no other child in the world exactly like you. And millions of years have passed without there ever being a child like you.

Look at your body, what a miracle! Your legs, your arms, your nimble fingers, your walk. From you can come a Shakespeare, a Michelangelo, a Beethoven. There is nothing you cannot become.

Yes, you are a miracle. And when you grow up, can you then harm another who, like you, is also a miracle?

You must work on this – we all must work on this – to make the world livable for their children."
