Gracious, dear, or from the town of Milan
Mylan is a modern variation of the Slavic name Milan, derived from the root 'milu' meaning gracious or dear. It is also frequently associated with the Italian city of Milan, giving it a sophisticated, place-name appeal. In recent years, it has emerged as a gender-neutral alternative to more traditional European classics.
