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.

      u idiot armenians are an ethnic european group and they are the first christian nation on earth, how can they be considered arabs? U are seriously illiterate

      • you'restupid says:

        Armenian is not European, Armenia is not in Europe, it’s in Eurasia. And Armenians have mixed with Arabs, Mongols, Assyrians, Romans, Ottoman Turks and Russians. They’re not “White”.

        • bystander says:

          Armenian americans are considered as white and european americans in the US census u idiot, yes they have mixed with a lot of pple and so did other cultures such as the greeks, italians, spaniards, french etc it is not per se in the continent of Europe however it is considered in Europe due to cultural, historical and socio-political reasons just like Cyprus which is in the EU. GET A BOOK AND READ IT, check many references and btw Armenian entered the council of Europe in 2001, which contains all the EU and non EU member european countries.
          Don’t tell what to know, i’m majoring in history and political studies.
