Mylca is Hebrew in Origin.

Mylca is a modern respelling of the biblical name Milcah (Hebrew: Milkah), found in Genesis as the wife of Nahor and ancestor of Rebekah. In Hebrew, the name derives from the root melek “king,” yielding the meaning “queen” or “royal.” The Y insertion gives Mylca a contemporary look while preserving the ancient core, and the form is rare but recognizable in English- and Spanish-speaking communities.

Variants and related forms include Milcah, Milka (widespread in Slavic and Scandinavian use), and Malka (a distinct Hebrew name also meaning “queen”). In Slavic contexts, Milka connects to the root mil-, “dear, gracious,” offering an alternate reading of “beloved.” Nicknames such as Mila, Myla, and Millie arise naturally. Mylca’s usage has grown quietly in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, aligning with trends toward concise, vowel-rich names and creative spellings grounded in scriptural or pan-European traditions.
