Milmine Family History

Milmine Surname Meaning

Apparently a form of Milwain; the required change is unusual but perhaps based on the assumption that the lenited /b/ of the original Gaelic given name (from Beathan according to Black under Macgilvane) was in fact a lenited /m/.

Both would have been pronounced /v/.
