Meaning & origin
Milicent is a classic English name derived from the Germanic Amalasuintha, meaning 'strong in work.' Its peak popularity occurred in 1971, though it never ranked in the top 1000 U.S. names. The name first appeared in American records in 1939, and its usage has remained stable in recent decades. Milicent is a refined alternative to the more common Millicent, carrying a vintage charm that appeals to parents seeking an understated yet historically rich name.
Milicent is an English feminine name derived from the Old French form of the Germanic name Amalasuintha, composed of elements amal (work, labor) and swinth (strong). It was introduced to England by the Normans and enjoyed moderate use in the Middle Ages before being revived in the 19th century.
