Milana is Slavic in Origin.
Milana is a Slavic feminine given name, the counterpart of Milan, built on the Proto-Slavic root mil- meaning dear, gracious, beloved. It is used across Serbian, Croatian, Slovene, Czech, Slovak, Russian, Ukrainian, and Bulgarian communities, and appears as Милана in Cyrillic. The name belongs to the large family of Slavic mil- names (e.g., Milena, Milica) and should not be confused with the Italian city name Milano, which is etymologically unrelated.
Documented since the late 19th century, Milana gained steady 20th-century use in the Balkans and parts of the former USSR and has risen internationally in the 21st century; it entered U.S. rankings in the late 2000s, helped by diaspora visibility and the rise of short form Mila. Variants and diminutives include Milanka, Milinka, Milka, and Mila; common nicknames are Mila and Lana. Masculine counterpart: Milan.
