Name Origin

Millie is a diminutive of the names Mildred or Millicent. Mildred originates from Old German words meaning 'mild' and 'strength,' while Millicent comes from the combination of the Old High German elements 'milti' (meaning 'work, strength') and 'sent' (meaning 'mind, feeling'). Millie therefore carries connotations of gentleness, strength, and determination.
