Mildred

Mildred is a name that exudes vintage charm. Derived from Old English elements meaning 'gentle strength', it was once a very popular choice, especially in the early 20th century. Although it might seem old-fashioned today, Mildred carries a sense of history and dignity. Historical figures like Saint Mildred, an Anglo-Saxon abbess, embody the name’s heritage. Commonly shortened to Millie or Milly, these nicknames provide a more modern twist, offering both tradition and trendiness in one package.
