Milek is a traditional Polish name that is predominantly used for boys. It is pronounced as MEE-lek (/miˈlək/) in Polish. The name has its roots in the Slavic language and carries a strong cultural significance. Milek is often seen as a variation of the more popular name Miles, which has Latin origins and means "soldier" or "merciful." Despite its relatively low occurrence in the United States, with only a handful of newborns given this name each year, Milek has a unique charm and can be a distinctive choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name for their baby boy.
