Miliah Origin and Meaning

The name Miliah is a girl's name.

Miliah is a contemporary feminine name that likely evolved as a variation of names like Malia (Hawaiian for 'bitter' or related to Mary) or Milah (Hebrew for 'word' or 'speaking'). The addition of the 'h' gives the name a distinctive look while maintaining its melodic three-syllable pronunciation (mi-LIE-ah or mi-LEE-ah). This name exemplifies the modern trend toward names with flowing sounds and multicultural appeal. While still relatively uncommon, Miliah offers parents a choice that feels both unique and accessible. The name provides nickname options including Mili or Lia and carries an elegant, feminine quality that grows well from childhood into adulthood.
