The feminine name Mila's four letters appear in several monikers and languages. It may be a shortened form of Milagros, a Spanish title that translates to "miracles," beautifully representing every moment, accomplishment, and encounter that will lead your little one to success and happiness. Meanwhile, Mila's Slavic roots are even easier to distinguish, as it stems from the element milŭ, meaning "gracious" or "dear." Camila and Emilia are just two examples of names that can be shortened to Mila, though they have entirely different definitions. Arising from the Latin Camillus, Camila describes an "attendant at a religious ceremony," while Emilia carries the translation of "rival" from the Latin aemulus. American actresses Mila Kunis and Milla Jovovich may have brought Mila into the spotlight, but it's a name that has found stardom in its own right.
