Millen
Boy name · 10 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Millen: 10 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 4 births in 2025.
Millen is a name with dual roots, most commonly considered a Scottish variant of Milan, itself derived from the Slavic element *milu* meaning "gracious" or "dear." It also occasionally appears as a modern coinage combining "Mill" with the popular suffix "-en." While no globally famous bearers stand out, the name has a steady, modest presence in recent Scottish birth records. It shares a linguistic kinship with the Scottish place-name Milngavie, which is thought to derive from the Gaelic *muileann* meaning "mill." Millen is sometimes confused with the more common surname Millin or the given name Millan, an old Gaelic personal name meaning "bald tonsure"—a reminder that simple names often carry hidden layers of history.
