About the name Milan

Milan is the Hindi and Gujarati word for a reunion, which makes it one of the few names that describes an event rather than a quality. Its accidental twinning with the Italian city has helped it cross over to American birth certificates entirely on its own steam.

Milan is a unisex name of Sanskrit origin, pronounced mih-LUN. On the NameRarity scale it scores 77 out of 100, which places it in the very rare band — a genuinely uncommon pick — most people have never met anyone with this name. Its strongest period was the 2000s.
