Milburne is a unique and historic given name of Anglo-Saxon origin. It is derived from two Old English elements, 'myġel' meaning 'mild' or 'gentle', and 'burna' which signifies 'stream'. Thus, Milburne translates to 'mild stream'. This name has been associated with the Milborne family, a notable clan in medieval England. The first recorded instance of the name is from the Domesday Book of 1086, where a Milburne family was listed as landholders in Dorset. Despite its historical roots and distinctiveness, Milburne remains relatively uncommon today, making it an intriguing choice for parents seeking an unusual yet meaningful name for their child.
"In the year 1917, five babies named Milburne were born."
