Miramar

Miramar is a place name used in several countries for towns, districts, or neighborhoods. The name derives from the Spanish and Portuguese words mira and mar, meaning “look at the sea” or “sea view,” and is commonly applied to locations with coastal or scenic sea views.

Notable places named Miramar include Miramar, Florida, a city in Broward County, United States, that is part of the Miami metropolitan area; Miramar, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, a coastal resort town in the General Alvarado Partido; and Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, a United States Marine Corps air station located in San Diego, California, known for housing aviation units and related activities.

In addition to these, Miramar is a common toponym across the Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking world, used for numerous smaller towns, districts, and neighborhoods along coastlines or in areas noted for their maritime views. The name’s broad usage reflects its descriptive meaning and the appeal of sea vistas in coastal settlements.
