Is Miri a nickname for Miriam or are they two separate names? What nicknames are there for Miriam. And what names is Miri a nickname for?

There is a Yiddish name Mirel which usually gets called “Miri”.
Having said that, it is also common to use “Miri” as a nickname for “Miriam”,

Mirel is almost certainly a derivative of Miriam. Both Mimi and Miri are nicknames for Miriam.

Miri is the nickname for Miral, but it's also commonly used for Miriam. There are many miriams in our family all called Miri.

Miri is definitely a common nickname for Miriam (although I hate it, personally).

The Mirels I know all go by just that - Mirel - but I'm sure there are others who use the nickname Miri too.

In Israel I’ve also heard Miriamy and Yammi as a nickname for Miriam.
