Milagritos is Spanish in Origin.

Milagritos is a Spanish affectionate diminutive of Milagros ("miracles"), ultimately from Latin miraculum. As a given name it is typically feminine, conveying the sense of "little miracles" or "beloved miracles." The form echoes devotion to the Virgin Mary under titles such as Nuestra Senora de los Milagros, and resonates with the folk tradition of small ex-voto charms called milagritos offered in thanks at shrines in Spain and Latin America.

Used chiefly in Spanish-speaking countries - especially the Caribbean, Mexico, and the Andes - Milagritos functions both as a birth name and as a pet form of Milagros, with sporadic diaspora use in the United States. Historical peaks align with 20th-century Catholic naming fashions, though it remains familiar in contemporary communities. Variants and cognates include Milagros, Milagro (rare as a given name), the Basque Mirari, and Catalan Miracle; English Miracle serves as a semantic counterpart. Common short forms are Mila, Mili, and Millie.
