Origin and meaning of Milan
Milan springs from the Slavic root mil-, 'dear, beloved, gracious,' shared by many Eastern European names. Traditionally common in the Czech Republic, Serbia and Slovakia, where it is a classic boys' name, it has recently become fashionable in Germany, France and the Netherlands too. Its clear sound and the echo of the Italian city of Milan give it an international, elegant charm that is still easy to carry.
