Milo is a baby boy name of German origin. If you’re a fan of This Is Us or Gilmore Girls then you may already recognize this baby name with passionate actor Milo Ventimiglia. Despite this association, the meaning of this baby name carries much more than Hollywood can bring, as Milo translates to “soldier” and “merciful.” Milo also derives from the Old Germanic name Miles, but has been standing firm on its own in countries like England and the United States. With a name as steadfast as Milo, baby can be their own knight in shining armor.
