Milo means "yew flower" in Greek, and means "beloved; dear one" in Slavic languages.

Could it be a Germanic and Italian form of the Slavic element milu (Miloš, Milan)? It seems complementary with the Miles etymology. Both could be, couldn't they?

According to this website, this name is from the name Miles. But according to the information for Miles, it is from the Germanic name Milo, which is of uncertain origin. It may be from the Latin miles, meaning soldier, or a Germanic element meaning gracious, or it could even be a diminuative of Michael. I like the meaning gracious best, and I think Milo is more unique and attractive than Miles, which sound way to formal for me.

According to "A World of Baby Names," Milo is of uncertain derivation. Might be from the German mild: "mild/peaceful/calm;" or from the Old German root milan: "to mill, beat, crush, or rub until fine or tender." Could also be from the Old Slavonic root milu: "merciful."
