History & Origin

Millerkate is a modern fused double name. Miller is the English occupational surname, 'one who grinds grain at a mill', frequently a mother's maiden name carried forward; Kate is a short form of Katherine, glossed since the Middle Ages as 'pure', from Greek katharos. Combining a surname with a classic short name in this way is a Southern habit, which we note (said 'MIL-ur-kayt').

It appears only very rarely in the U.S. Very rare, Southern, and distinctive.

Did you know? Southern families often build a double name from a family surname plus a classic short name — Millerkate is exactly that: Miller (a miller, one who grinds grain) plus Kate, 'pure' (said 'MIL-ur-kayt').
