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.

    Idk she did look Asian but now she looks like a regular white girl which she is because Armenians are mostly white with Arabic roots.she could be Siberian Russian though .Siberians are mostly asian with Mongolian roots

    • sandy says:

      she loooks white cuz of the eyeliner they put aroud her eyes when she wears make up

    • anonyme says:

      what world do u live in? Armenians are of Arab roots? are you hi on something or r u just plain stupid? Armenians are people from the caucasus, anatolia, they are indo-european peoples.

    • nathan says:

      actually armenians are not arabic, and are not really white, although some, actually a good population of armenians are pale, most are light olive, with dark hair, but most have some russian roots, others may have some turkish, lebenese, or iranian roots, but not arabic

      wow what a complex…

    • FaithLaurel says:

      You people should just go away. :-| Imagine if people where saying that about you! It would probably make you feel bad. And everyone who meets her says she’s a really nice girl. Just because you “don’t like her”, Make sure there is a reason not to. And that makes me feel sort of hurt since I look like her myself..
