Meaning not yet researched.
We publish a meaning only with a cited source and a confidence label, and never generate one. Meanings are being researched for the most common names first.
Wikidata records this spelling as a given name in Czech, Dutch, Polish, Slovene and Swedish. That is where the name is used, not necessarily where it comes from.
Rare spellings summarised here: Mylon (425), Meilin (350), Mylin (292), Meilyn (264), Millan (262), Mylen (253), Milynn (218), Melane (210), Milon (149), Milen (142), Milian (126), Milyn (116), and more.
Numbers are all-time US births. Links come from Wikidata’s “said to be the same as” (P460, CC0) and our spelling rule: at most two letters different, with the same sound pattern.
No nicknames listed for Milan in the open dataset we use.
