Millie is most commonly considered the English pet form of Mildred, but could essentially be attributed as a diminutive of any number of female names beginning with the prefix "Mil-" (Millicent, Milagros, Mila, Milan, Milania, etc). ; or even names with the “thousand” sound in the middle (like Amelia, Camilla, Emily). However, Millie has always been more closely associated with Mildred which itself is an Old Anglo-Saxon female given name originally rendered as Mildþryð (meaning "gentle force") from the Olde English elements "Milde" (mild) and "þryð" (force). ) .

Born in the late seventh century, Mildred (or Mildþryð as she was known in Old English) was the daughter and granddaughter of Anglo-Saxon kings. Her mother was also a saint and the princess of Kent, England. Saint Mildred is remembered in England as a pious woman who showed particular compassion for widows, orphans, and the downtrodden. She was known for her humility of hers and “soft strength” (apparently the fit name) of hers. Her relics are now in St Augustine's Abbey at Canterbury and her feast day is May 18. Mildred remained a popular Anglo-Saxon name throughout England until the 11th century Norman Conquest, which is when it gradually fell out of favor.
