What is the meaning of the name Mylcah ?

The baby name Mylcah is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced MIL-kah (IPA: /ˈmɪlkə/).

Mylcah is Hebrew in Origin.

Mylcah is a modern English respelling of the biblical Hebrew name Milcah (Milkāh), from the Semitic root mlk, “king/royalty,” yielding the meaning “queen.” The name appears twice in the Hebrew Bible: Milcah, daughter of Haran and wife of Nahor (Abraham’s brother), ancestress of Rebekah (Genesis 11, 22), and Milcah among the five daughters of Zelophehad who successfully petitioned for inheritance rights (Numbers 27, 36), giving the name associations with lineage and advocacy.

Common variants include Milcah, Milkah, and Milka; related forms are Malka/Malkah (“queen” in modern Hebrew). Note that Micah is a different Hebrew name (Mikha, “Who is like God?”). In some Slavic languages, Milka is also an independent diminutive from mil- (“gracious, dear”), a distinct etymology that overlaps in spelling. Contemporary use of Mylcah fits modern Y-insert spellings, offering a regal, vintage-biblical choice with cross-cultural resonance.
