Disney turned Maleficent into a name in 1959, when it was used for the "Mistress of All Evil" in the film <em>Sleeping Beauty</em>. Prior to that, maleficent was a word meaning "causing harm," the antonym of beneficent. Its similarities to the familiar name Millicent made it an apt choice for the iconic Disney villain.
