Wikidata records this spelling as a given name in Czech, Italian, Polish and Slovene. That is where the name is used, not necessarily where it comes from.
Rare spellings summarised here: Mylene (868), Milayna (276), Milanna (211), Millena (148), Milenna (87), Myleena (29), Millana (20), Mialuna (16), Milyana (16), Mileyna (11), Milanah (6), Millenna (5).
