gentle/ gentle strength (from Old English)

History & etymology:

Historically, Millie is a diminutive form of the names Mildred or Millicent. Nowadays, Millie is a separate name in its own right in addition to being a short form of names such as the ones mentioned above or Emily.

Mildred stems from the Old English name Mildþryð (mild - gentle, þryð - strength). The name had been popular in England up to the Norman Conquest. Then the name was almost forgotten only to come back in fashion in the 19th century.

Millicent stems from the Germanic name Amalasuintha (amal - work, swinth - strong). Alternative spellings Melisent and Melisende were adopted into English under Norman influence.

One of possible Patron Saints of the name is St. Mildred, the abbess of Minster-in-Thanet monastery. She lived in England in the 7th century and was known for taking care of widows, orphans and beggars. St. Mildred died a painful death due to a prolonged illness. In 1033 her remains were relocated to Canterbury.

St. Mildred’s feast day is celebrated on 13th July.
