The baby name Milli is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced MILL-ee (/ˈmɪli/).
Milli is in Origin.
Milli is a streamlined spelling of Millie, used across English and parts of Europe as a pet form. In Britain and the U.S. it arose in the 19th century for Millicent and Mildred, later extending to Amelia/Emilia and Camilla. Germanic and Scandinavian use favors Milli as a homey short form of Emilie/Emilia or Camilla/Kamilla, while Slavic speakers may apply it to Milena and other mil‑ names. As a standalone, Milli has gained ground with the modern taste for nickname-style first names.
Meanings vary by source name: from Millicent (Germanic) it suggests “strong in work”; from Amelia/Amalia, “work; industrious”; from Mildred, “gentle strength”; from Camilla, “attendant/acolyte”; and from the Slavic root mil‑, “dear, gracious.” Close variants include Millie, Milly, Mili, Mille (Danish), and Milla. Related formal anchors are Millicent, Mildred, Amelia, Emilia, Camilla/Kamila, and Milena.
