Milor

Milor is a masculine given name and a surname found in parts of Southeast Europe, particularly among communities in the Balkans. In onomastic references, Milor is described as a Slavic name that can occur as a standalone given name or as a surname, with usage that is relatively uncommon in international contexts but attested in local records and genealogical sources.

The name is typically linked to the Slavic root mil-, meaning dear, pleasant, or gracious. As a given name, Milor may function as a stand-alone form or as a shortened or variant of longer names that begin with Mil-, such as Milorad or Miloslav. In some cases, Milor can appear in combination with regional naming patterns without a clear derivation from another form.

Usage and distribution tend to be concentrated in the Balkan region, with historical records showing Milor in civil registries and family documents in Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro. As a surname, Milor is rarer and usually reflects family lineage rather than occupational or geographic origin. The name does not have a single, distinctive meaning beyond its Slavic origins and is not tied to a specific trade or locale.

Related names include Milo, Milos, Milorad, and Miloslav, with feminine variants appearing in some cultures. Spelling and transliteration can vary, especially between Cyrillic and Latin alphabets. Because Milor is relatively uncommon, comprehensive demographic statistics are limited, and most information comes from regional name registries and historical records.
