Milia

Meaning of Milia

Milia is a graceful feminine name with roots that stretch from Latin—where it can be seen as a sweet diminutive of Emilia—to ancient Greek, in which mēlia refers to an apple tree in blossom. In India, its soft MIL-ee-uh lilt feels like the first monsoon breeze teasing jasmine flowers at dawn, carrying both warmth and promise. Though Milia remains charmingly rare in the United States—hovering just under the top 900 names with eleven newborns in 2024—it offers a quiet distinction amid today’s more crowded choices. Like a tender sapling unfurling toward the sun, Milia invites its bearer to grow with gentle strength, each utterance a reminder of new beginnings and the simple beauty hidden in unexpected places.
