Radmila is a feminine Slavic dithematic name formed from Proto-Slavic radŭ (“eager, willing, glad”) and milŭ (“gracious, dear”), yielding senses such as “eager to be kind,” “glad and gracious,” or “dear with willingness.” It appears across South Slavic languages - Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, Montenegrin, Macedonian, and Bulgarian - and is also known in Czech and Slovak. The standard Cyrillic form is Радмила; an Anglicized double‑l spelling, Radmilla, occurs in diaspora contexts.

Attested in medieval Slavic onomastics and sustained in folk usage, the name benefited from 19th–20th‑century Slavic cultural revivals and remains familiar through modern bearers in the Balkans and Central Europe. Variants and short forms include Rada, Radka (esp. Czech/Slovak), Mila, Milka, and Radmilka; related masculine counterparts are Radomil and Radomir. The name’s positive semantic pairing reflects the traditional Slavic practice of combining auspicious roots to convey character and blessing.
