Miles is Latin in Origin.
Miles blends Latin and Germanic strands. In medieval records it often served as the Latinized form of Milo, a Norman name of uncertain Germanic origin linked to roots meaning “gracious,” “merciful,” or “mild.” At the same time, Latin miles literally means “soldier,” a sense that colored medieval understanding of the name. The variant spelling Myles is long-established in English; cognates and relatives include Milo, Miloš/Milos (Slavic), and Miłosz (Polish). Related Slavic names share the mil- root, such as Mila, though it is a distinct name.
Carried to England by the Normans, Miles appears with 12th-century figures such as Miles of Gloucester and surfaces in hagiography (e.g., Saint Miles of Susa). Usage waned after the Middle Ages, resurfacing in the 19th century and rising swiftly since the late 20th. Cultural resonance owes much to jazz icon Miles Davis. Meanings offered today include “soldier,” “gracious,” or “merciful.”
