Meaning: From the Oromo language of Ethiopia and Kenya, where milki means 'good omen, good fortune, blessing.' In English the same spelling reads as the everyday word milky, and we give both plainly.Low
History & Origin
Milki is documented as an Oromo name from Ethiopia and Kenya, where the word means 'good omen, good fortune, blessing.' Oromo naming often draws on words of hope and circumstance in exactly this way. English-speaking readers, meanwhile, will hear the ordinary word milky, and we say so rather than pretending the resemblance is not there. Both readings are given honestly, and families choosing the name will know which one they mean (said 'MIL-kee').
It appears only in very small numbers in the U.S. Rare, warm, and East African.
