Mileth is in Origin.

Mileth is a rare given name with debated roots. One plausible line links it to Greek Meletios (from melete, “care, attention, study”), a name borne by several Eastern Christian bishops and saints, which lends Mileth the sense of “thoughtful” or “studious.” Another view treats it as a modern blend on the Slavic mil- stem (“dear, gracious”), seen in Mila, Milena, and Mileta, with an English -eth ending reminiscent of Meredith or Gareth. Because of these converging influences, Mileth reads as unisex but skews feminine in recent use.

Documented usage of the exact spelling is very sparse before the late twentieth century, chiefly in English-speaking contexts. Related or variant forms include Melet, Melete, Meletius, Meletiy/Meletii, Mileta, and the mil- family (Mila, Milena). Possible nicknames are Millie, Mimi, and Leta. Meanings cluster around “careful, studious” or “gracious, beloved.”
