Meaning and background
The story behind Milka
Milka has several documented personal-name histories. Behind the Name records a Slavic diminutive associated with a gracious or dear element, a Finnish and Polish familiar form of Emilia, and a separate Biblical Hebrew form of Milcah. These are alternatives rather than one combined translation. A dog named Milka can honor a particular family or tradition, with the intended language connection doing more work than the Roman letters alone.
