Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Slovanské meno Milka vychádza zo základu mil- s významom „milý, drahý“ a domáckej prípony -ka. V slovenčine je doložené ako domácka podoba mien Bohumila, Milana, Milina či Miloslava, ale aj latinského mena Emília. Nezávisle existuje biblické hebrejské meno Milkāh, tradične vykladané ako „kráľovná“. Ide o rovnozvučné mená odlišného pôvodu, nie o konkurenčné výklady jediného mena; latinský pôvod sa týka iba odvodenia od Emílie.
