What Does the Name Miila Mean?
Miila is a feminine given name used in Finland, where it is a spelling variant of Mila and is closely related to Milla. Mila is usually explained as coming from the Slavic word element mil-, meaning "dear" or "gracious"; in Slavic languages the feminine adjective mila has precisely that sense. The same element appears in longer Slavic names such as Ludmila, Milena, and Milica, from which short forms like Mila were drawn. Mila and Milla are also used elsewhere as short forms of unrelated longer names, especially Emilia; in that case the meaning is taken from the longer name rather than from Slavic mil-. The meaning most often attached to Miila is therefore "dear" or "gracious," but the name cannot be traced with certainty to a single source.
Miila Name History & Origins
The Slavic element mil- is old in personal names. The Czech name Ludmila, borne by a tenth-century Bohemian duchess who was later made a saint, joins a word for "people" with mila, "dear." Milena and Milica contain the same root, and from names like these the short form Mila developed. In Finnish, a long vowel is written with two letters, so the long "ee" sound of Mila is written ii in Miila; the single-vowel spelling Mila would be read with a short i in Finnish. Miila is used as a girl's name in Finland alongside Milla and Mila. It has no separate meaning of its own beyond the family of names it comes from.
