Meaning of the name Mila
Mila is a name of Slavic origin: it comes from milŭ, “dear, kind, gracious”, an element of names such as Milena or Ludmila, of which it was first a short form; it is also a diminutive of Camila. It has become very popular in France, Turkey and, more recently, the Arab world, where it is written ميلا. It is not an Arabic word; in Turkey it is sometimes given a Persian origin, without solid support. In Algeria, Mila (ميلة) is also the name of a town and province.
