behindthename.com-Old Germanic form of MILES, as well as the Latinized form. This form of the name was used in official documents during the Middle Ages, and it has been used independently since the 19th century.
babynamewizard.com -Origin of the name Milo:Of Germanic origin, Milo is of uncertain derivation. It might be derived from the German mild (mild, peaceful, calm), which is from the Old German root milan (to mill, beat, crush, or rub until fine or tender). Alternatively, it might be from the Old Slavonic root milu (merciful). From A World of Baby Names by Teresa Norman.

nameberry.com-A highly recommended author favorite; with its German, Greek and jaunty British input, Milo combines the strength of the ancient Greek Olympic wrestler, with the debonair charm of a WW II RAF pilot. RickiLake, Camryn Manheim and Liv Tyler are three celebrity moms who share our enthusiasm.

Derived from Greek λεων (leon) meaning “lion”. This name was borne by a 6th-century BC king of Sparta. During the Christian era it was merged with the Latin cognateLeo, with the result that the two forms are used somewhat interchangeably across European languages. In England during the Middle Ages this was a common name among Jews. A famous bearer was Leon Trotsky (1879-1940), a Russian Communist revolutionary. (behindthename.com)
