Mylo

Boy name · 174 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Mylo: 174 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 17 births in 2020.

Mylo is a modern, stylish name that emerged as a variant of Miles, from the Latin "miles," meaning "soldier" or "merciful." It first gained traction in Scotland around the early 2000s, a contemporary twist on a classic. Famous bearers are few but notable: Mylo is the stage name of Scottish electronic musician Myles MacInnes, whose 2004 album "Destroy Rock & Roll" was a global hit. The name shares its root with the historic English city of Milo, though no direct place connections exist in Scotland. Its rise in popularity correlates with the trend for short, vowel-heavy names like Arlo and Hugo, offering a fresh, international feel while remaining easy to spell and pronounce.
