Perhaps from residence near mills, in some instances. I am rather disposed, however, to consider it the genitive of an abbreviated form of Michael (see Miles), and the occurrence of Millson seems to favour this derivation. But see Milson, which is 'local.'

Patronymica Britannica (1860) by Mark Antony Lower

Local. Living near a mill. Gaelic, Milidh, a soldier, the d being silent.
