Milred is a unique and distinctive given name of English origin. It is derived from the Old English words "myr" meaning "famous" or "renown", and "hyth" which signifies "meadow". Thus, Milred can be interpreted as "famous meadow". This name was notably borne by Saint Milred (c.670-774), a bishop of Worcester in England. Despite its historical roots and charming derivation, Milred is not a commonly used name today, making it a rare but captivating choice for those seeking an unusual moniker with a rich history.
"In the span of just two years, from 1916 to 1917, there were a total of eleven children named Milred born."
