Mylkah is English, Hebrew in Origin.

Mylkah is a modern English respelling of the Hebrew names Milcah/Malkah (מִלְכָּה/מַלְכָּה), both from the Semitic root MLK “king/royalty,” yielding the meaning “queen” or “royal woman.” In the Hebrew Bible, Milcah appears twice: as Nahor’s wife (Genesis 11, 22) and as one of Zelophehad’s five daughters, noted for securing inheritance rights (Numbers 27). The Yiddish and Hebrew form Malka/Malkah kept the name in continuous Jewish use.

The inserted y in Mylkah gives a contemporary look while preserving the traditional sound. Closely related forms include Milcah, Milkah, Milka, Malkah, Malka, Malke, and the cognates Malika (Arabic) and Melike (Turkish), all meaning “queen.” Nicknames might be Mila, Millie, or Mal. Usage outside Jewish and Middle Eastern communities is rare but rising in creative-spelling trends, making Mylkah a distinctive choice that balances scriptural heritage with modern style.
