Mila (Cyrillic: Мила, Polish: Miła) is a female Slavic name originating from Central or Eastern Europe. It is a diminutive of Slavic names beginning or ending with Mila which derived from the element Mil (Мил) meaning "gracious" or "dear".[1] It is also used among the Spanish as a short-hand for Milagros, meaning "miracles".
In the Arabic language, the word Mila is derived from Mayla ميلاء (meaning a large tree with slanting branches). Or from Milla ملة, that means Religion.
While in Berber languages Mila comes from Milo which means Shadow, it is estimated to be the toponymy of Algerian Province Mila.[2]
Mila is also an unconventional gender neutral Tibetan name, likely a derivative of the Tibetan yogi Milarepa.
