What is the meaning of the name Mili ?

The baby name Mili is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced MEE-lee (IPA: /ˈmiːli/).

Mili is Slavic in Origin.

Mili is a compact, cross‑cultural name used both independently and as a nickname. In South Slavic languages it stems from the Slavic root mil‑ (“dear, gracious”), functioning as a pet form of Mila, Milena, Milica - and at times the masculine Milan or Miloš. In the Balkans it appears in records as an affectionate by‑name that occasionally became a formal given name, carrying the sense “beloved.”

In South Asia, Mili is an independent feminine name from Hindi/Urdu milī, related to milnā “to meet, to join,” yielding meanings such as “joined, found, united.” Its modern rise dates to the late 20th century, boosted by film titles and contemporary literature. In Spanish‑speaking contexts, Mili serves as a familiar short form of Emilia, Milagros, or Milena. Variants and relatives include Mily, Milli/Milly/Millie, and the connected names Mila, Milena, Emilia, Milagros, and Milan.
