Miles
[maɪlz]Meaning
from the Germanic name Milo; associated with Latin miles, "soldier"
Background Story
Miles comes from the Germanic name Milo, which the Normans introduced to England. Its meaning is not known for certain; it is possibly connected to the Slavic element milŭ, "gracious, dear", and from an early date it was associated with the Latin miles, "soldier". In Scotland the name was historically used to Anglicize Maoilios, and as a surname it also derives from a Middle English Miles form of Michael.
