Myllar is English in Origin.

Myllar is a rare given name lifted from the Scots surname Myllar, a Middle Scots spelling variant of Millar/Miller, the occupational name for someone who operated a grain mill. The root goes back to Old English mylen and Old French molin, from Latin molina, related to molere “to grind.” The y and -ar spelling reflect Scots orthography; a notable bearer is Androw Myllar, who with Walter Chepman established Scotland’s first printing press in 1507.

As a first name, Myllar fits the Anglophone fashion for surnames-as-given-names and remains uncommon, lending a distinctive yet familiar sound. Close variants and spellings include Millar, Miller, and the rarer Mylar/Myller; related occupational cognates abroad include German Müller, French Meunier, Spanish Molinero, and Italian Molinaro. The core meaning centers on “miller,” evoking industry, nourishment, and the steady turning of the mill.
