Miluska is Czech, Slavic in Origin.

Miluska is a Slavic feminine name rooted in the Proto‑Slavic element mil-, meaning “dear,” “gracious,” or “beloved.” In Czech and Slovak it appears as Miluška, where the affectionate diminutive suffix -uška gives the sense of “little dear one.” It has long functioned as a pet form for names built on the mil- element - such as Mila, Milena, Miluše, and (L’)udmila - and the tender meaning has helped it stand on its own as a given name.

Use is most established in Czech and Slovak contexts, with the form Miluška recorded from the late 19th and 20th centuries; it is also familiar across other Slavic languages as Miluška/Milushka (Милушка) as a term of endearment. The diacritic‑free Miluska circulates internationally and is notably found in Latin America, especially Peru. Variants and related names include Miluška, Milushka, Mila, Milena, Milica, Miluše, and Ludmila. The name conveys warmth, kindness, and cherished affection.
