She is also known for her song “Kissin U.”

On her Twitter account, she stated:

I’m Irish, English, and French. People always think I’m a lot of different nationalities though which I think is pretty cool :)

Oddly, Miranda did not mention her one eighth Mexican ancestry. Miranda’s maternal grandfather’s mother, Mary Castimello/Costano/Coseton, was born in Mexico, as were Mary’s parents. The spelling of Mary’s surname varies from record to record.

Miranda’s maternal grandfather was William Frank Casey (the son of William John Casey and Mary Cecilia Castimello/Costano/Coseton). Miranda’s grandfather William was born in California. Miranda’s great-grandfather William was Irish, born in Brosna, County Kerry. Miranda’s great-grandmother Mary was Mexican, born in Juárez, Chihuahua.

Miranda’s maternal grandmother was Lois Ann Core (the daughter of Robert Herman Core and Ida Marie Bishir/Bishop). Lois was born in Oklahoma. Robert was the son of John W. Core and Birdie Harrell. Ida was the daughter of John Bunyan Bishir/Bishop and Effie I. Jones. A picture of Miranda’s maternal grandmother can be seen here.

Miranda’s distant Bishir ancestors were Alsatian German.

    Armenians are not Arabic. Religion they primarily have is Eastern-Orthodox. I know many Armenians who are very pale, and have seen many with blue eyes as well. Many do have dark hair though, but I have seen a few blondes. I live in a city which is based on 60% Armenians so I know what I’m saying.

      You are wrong about that.. they have the same as kim kardashian, brown hair, sometimes brown eyes, and midbrown to brown skin. they are european, but they are not white at all because they have berber/arab mix roots or even indo from arab to asian roots! Armenians may have blue eyes sometimes, but wentworth miller has green eyes and is mulatto. even indigenoeus people have the blonde hair and blue/green eyes. some people I have met did not look at all white and are.. same the opposite that I have met. look white but are not.. I am white and I do not look like it at all.. cause I have had so many white races mixed that I am a mix up!!

    I thought she had some Japanese in her. I have no idea where I heard that from so it’s totally baseless and possibly false.
