What does Mirav mean?

In Hebrew, the name Mirav is derived from the word 'marah', meaning 'bitter' or 'rebellious'. However, in Christian tradition, it is interpreted as 'Mirror of water'. This is a reference to the biblical story of Miriam, the sister of Moses, who was a prophetess and led the Israelites during their exodus from Egypt. She was described as a strong, courageous woman who led the people to sing praises to God when they were crossing the Red Sea. When they reached the other side, the waters were divided, creating a mirror-like reflection, symbolizing the presence and guidance of God with them.
