Millah as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Millah

What is the meaning of the name Millah ?

The baby name Millah is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced MILL-uh (ˈmɪlə),MEE-lah (ˈmiːlə).

Millah is Hebrew, Scandinavian, Slavic in Origin.

Millah blends several traditions. In Quranic Arabic, millah denotes a faith or creed (as in "millat Ibrahim," the faith of Abraham), and this sacred sense has inspired occasional given name use in Muslim communities from South Asia to Southeast Asia. In Hebrew, milah means "word" (famously in brit milah, "covenant of circumcision"), giving a related Jewish-heritage reading when spelled Milah. The double-l ending also aligns Millah with European short forms.

As a contemporary variant of Milla/Mila, it echoes Scandinavian and Finnish nicknames for Camilla or Emilia and the Slavic Mila ("gracious, dear"). Millah remains rare in historical records but appears in 21st-century registries as a distinctive alternative to Mila. Possible meanings therefore range from "faith/creed," to "acolyte/attendant" (via Camilla), to "rival/industrious" (via Emilia), to "gracious, dear" (via Slavic roots). Variants and relatives include Milla, Milah, Mila, Millie, Camilla, Emilia, and Ludmila.
