Miltie Origin and Meaning
The name Miltie is a boy's name.
Miltie is a diminutive masculine name that originated as an affectionate nickname for Milton. Milton itself has English origins meaning 'mill town' or 'settlement with a mill.' Miltie has a friendly, approachable quality that retains the vintage charm of the full name while adding a touch of informality. This diminutive form was more common in the early to mid-20th century when nickname forms were frequently used as given names. While quite rare as a formal given name, Miltie has occasionally been used independently rather than just as a nickname. The name carries nostalgic overtones and might evoke connections to entertainer Milton Berle, who was often called Miltie. Its vintage quality makes it distinctive in modern naming landscapes.
