The name likely derives from a personal name, possibly "Mircea," a common Romanian name of Slavic origin meaning "peace" or "world," with the suffix "-ești" indicating "belonging to" or "settlement of." Therefore, Mircești could be interpreted as "the place belonging to Mircea" or "the settlement of Mircea." The use of this name reflects a historical practice of naming settlements after prominent individuals or landowners.
