What is the meaning of the name Mill ?

The baby name Mill is a Unisex name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced /mɪl/ — "mil".

Mill is English in Origin.

Mill is a rare, modern given name drawn from the English surname, denoting someone who lived or worked at a mill. The word traces to Old English mylen and Old Norse mylna, both from Late Latin molina, ultimately Latin mola, “millstone; grinder,” giving the straightforward meaning “mill” or “by the mill.” As a compact, punchy form, it can also function as a clipped pet-name for Milton, Miller, Millicent, or Camille.

The surname Mill is attested in medieval England and Scotland, often alternating with Miln, Milne, and Mylne; pluralized Mills and the related Milnes are close variants. As a given name, Mill surfaced occasionally in the 19th-century Anglo-American habit of adopting family surnames, and it fits today’s minimalist, monosyllabic style. Related choices include Miller, Milton, and Millie/Milly; Scandinavian Mille is cognate in sound but usually derives from Emilie or Camilla.
