Milla is a girl's name of Latin origin, meaning "helper to the priest". The name's origins can be traced back to Camillus, a Roman cognomen or a third personal name with possible Etruscan origins. Milla is also associated with the Latin personal name Aemilianus, derived from the word 'aemulus,' meaning 'rival'. The name is a shortened version of its root name, Camilla, or any other name that ends with the suffix 'milla'. In addition to its Latin and Roman connections, Milla is also associated with a flowering plant, Milla biflora, known as the Mexican star due to its star-shaped petals.
