Mylo

Mylo is a modern English variant of the name Milo, itself a Germanic and Latinized form of Miles. The etymology of Miles is uncertain; it may derive from the Slavic element milŭ, meaning "gracious, dear," or be associated with the Latin word miles meaning "soldier." Introduced to England by the Normans as Miles, the name gained popularity in the 19th century alongside the revival of Milo.

Mylo is relatively rare as a given name but is most famously associated with Scottish electronic musician Myles MacInnes (born 1978), who performs under the stage name Mylo. His 2004 album Destroy Rock & Roll reached number 26 on the UK Albums Chart, and his 2005 single "Doctor Pressure" became a club hit, peaking at number 3 on the UK Singles Chart. Through this bearer, the name Mylo entered public consciousness in the early 2000s.

Related names include the ancestral Myles and the Ancient Greek forms Milo and Milon, which are etymologically distinct.
