It is a commercial brand of fruit-flavored soft drink. It was launched by PepsiCo in Spain in the mid-twentieth century and then spread to other markets, although it is no longer produced in its country of origin. The name seems to be Esperanto, where it means "amazing, wonderful", which may have been inspired by Fanta ("fantasy"), or by some woman named Mirinda, since it is also a feminine name as a variation of Miranda.
