Miles is a male name of English roots. Originally, Miles is borrowed from a Norman-French name Milo, the medieval written version of Miles (Latin name meaning soldier).
Miles is also believed to be a medieval Norman-French pet version of Michael. Even though he’s been around for over a century, the name’s usage has been moderate to low.
The name started to show astounding upward momentum around the turn of the 21st century and he’s inching closer to claim a spot on the most favored top 100 boy names.
Somehow, Miles is a unique choice. He has never experienced any sizable popularity ever since the American Government began monitoring his naming trends.
The data available shows 89482 newborn boys have been named Miles in the past 140 years. Miles has featured twice in the top 10 and 11 times in the top one hundred boy names in America.
