The name Myla means “soldier” and “merciful.” It is a variation of Mila and the feminine version of Milo or Myles. Origin: Myla may be considered the feminine version of Milo, which has German roots and means “soldier” or “merciful.”  I think my name is unique and different witch is how everyone is. I have only ever meet two people with the same name as me so I am grateful for my name.
