I think of Mirren as the standard - my dentist just named his baby girl Mirren. There's also the football team St Mirren but the saint after whom it's named is often called St Mirin. They are both 'legitimate'. It isn't a form of Marian as far as I know, and the saint was male, although it's a female name now in my experience.

There are a couple of placenames in Scotland with Mirren's name in them, spelt a variety of ways. It's not a question of right and wrong - these things long pre-date standardised spelling.
