Milly

Milly is a diminutive form of the English name Millicent, which is derived from the Germanic name Amalaswinth. The name Amalaswinth is composed of the elements 'amal,' meaning 'work' or 'strength,' and 'swinth,' meaning 'strong.'

While the full name Millicent has a more formal and traditional sound, Milly is a shorter and more casual variation that has become popular in its own right. It has a friendly and approachable vibe, making it a popular choice for parents seeking a name that is both classic and easy to use.

Milly has been in use as a nickname or independent name since the late 19th century, particularly in English-speaking countries like the United States and the United Kingdom.

With its roots in a strong Germanic name, Milly carries a sense of determination and resilience, while also exuding a cute and playful charm.
