Industrious, gentle, or soldier
Milly originated as a diminutive for several names including Millicent, Mildred, and Amelia. It carries the Germanic roots of 'work' and 'strength' from Millicent, or the Latin 'soldier' from Miles. Today it is increasingly used as a standalone name with a vintage, friendly appeal.
