The theonym is commonly interpreted as a rendering of an Akkadian title meaning “the Lady,” reflecting Ishtar’s role as mistress of love and fertility. By folk association, Mylita is also sometimes treated as a variant of Melita (from Greek meli, “honey”), giving the alternative sense “honey-sweet.”
