Milford is an uncommon, yet distinctive given name of English origin. It is derived from the Old English word 'mylen-ford', which translates to 'mill stream'. This name was historically used as a surname before becoming more prevalent as a first name in the 19th century.
"Milford saw 7 babies named Ann in 1923 and another 6 in 1935, making a total of 13 little girls sharing the name over those two years."
