Mile Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from the name of an ancestor. 'the son of Miles'; v. Mills (2). This is still a popular personal name in North England.
William fil. Milon, Bedfordshire, 1273. Hundred Rolls.
Milo le Messer, Bedfordshire, ibid.
Peter Myles, Kent, ibid.
Wychard Miles, Lincolnshire, ibid.
1584. Alex. Miles, Northamptonshire: Register of the University of Oxford.
1694-5. Lewis Myles, Pembrokeshire: ibid.
From Milo, a not unusual personal name among the Normans; oftener, perhaps, a corruption of Michael, through Mighell. In some rural districts Michaelmas is commonly called Milemas.
for Michael.
Miles. —This name has a characteristic distribution in the south of England, though absent, or rare, in the three south - west counties of Cornwall, Devon, and Somerset. It has its principal homes in Kent, Essex, Sussex, Dorset, Wilts, Gloucestershire, and Monmouthshire, the northern limit of its area being in Norfolk and Shropshire. It has been suggested by Bardsley and Lower that this name is sometimes derived from Milo, a Norman personal name in Domesday. Lower thinks that it may be also often a corruption of Michael. Judging, however, from the distribution in both cases, I should say that it has had little or no connection with Mitchell as representing Michael. Rather I would hold that it is connected with Mills, which has a similar distribution; and it is remarkable that in the three south - west counties where Mills is absent or infrequent, being represented in two of them by Mill, Miles is also absent or rare.
