Myron (Ukrainian: Мирон) is a masculine given name used in English-speaking and Eastern European countries including Romania, Ukraine and Russia (in the countries of the former USSR it is usually spelled Miron, except for Ukraine where Myron is used). Non-religious or Christianized Jews have used this name as a Gentile replacement of the Jewish name Meir.^[1]

The name was originally in honor of the ancient Greek sculptor Myron (Greek Μύρων), whose name meant 'myrrh, perfume'.^[2] The female equivalent of Myron is considered to be Myra. Among modern Greeks, it may be in honor of Saint Myron, archbishop of Crete (c. 250 – 350), and may take the form Myros, with the vocative Myro.

Notable people bearing the name include:

• Myron, Athenian sculptor from the mid-5th century BC
• Myron of Crete (c. 250-c. 350), archbishop of Crete
• Myron of Priene, ancient Greek author of an historical account of the First Messenian War
