Milli
Girl name · 45 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Milli: 45 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 9 births in 2003.
Milli is most often a charming diminutive of Millicent, a name of Old German origin meaning "strong in work," from *amal* (work) and *swinth* (strength). While less common as a standalone name in Scotland, it shares the same root as the more familiar Millie. A famous bearer is the British singer Milli Vanilli, though that was a stage persona rather than a given name. There are no major places directly named after a Millicent, though the name shares an etymological ancestor with the Germanic Amalia. This spelling, with an 'i', gives a slightly more modern, upbeat feel than the classic Millie, making it a lively choice for a little girl.
