Millborne is English in Origin.

Millborne is a rare English surname‑turned‑given name rooted in toponymy. It derives from Old English mylen/miln “mill” (ultimately from Latin molina via Old French) + burna/bourne “stream,” yielding the sense “mill stream” or “mill by the stream.” The element bourne is characteristic of southern England waterways, seen in place‑names such as Milborne Port and Milborne St Andrew in Dorset, which supplied the surname forms Milborne/Milbourne that later inspired this given name.

Recorded as a family name from medieval rolls onward, it appears with bearers like Sir John Milborne, Lord Mayor of London (1521), and the clergyman-critic Luke Milbourne (c. 1649–1720). As a first name, Millborne is a modern, stylistically surnamey choice in the Anglophone world. Variants and cognates include Milborne, Milbourne, Millbourne, Milbourn, Milborn, Millborn, Milburn, and Millburn. The name retains the grounded meaning of industry and flowing water.
