Milla

Milla is a short form of names ending in the element -milla, most commonly Camilla, which itself derives from Latin and is associated with the Etruscan word for a freeborn youth of noble birth serving in a religious rite. It is widely used as an independent given name across the Nordic countries and Hungary, where diminutive and clipped forms of longer names often achieve full stand-alone status. The name gained international recognition in part through the fame of the Latvian-born actress Milla Jovovich. Related forms include Camilla, Mille, and Milka.
