The name Milinda originates from the Pali language, which was a literary language of ancient India. It holds significant historical importance as it was the name of a Greco-Bactrian king, Milinda or Minander, who patronized Buddhism in northwestern India around 500 years after the Buddha's nirvana. This king is known for her philosophical discussions with the Buddhist monk Nagasena, recorded in the Milindapanha. The name has evolved over time, reflecting its cultural and philosophical heritage. It symbolizes inquiry, and the pursuit of knowledge.
