[Facts] Try this...
I'm sorry I don't know the meaning of your name, but perhaps I can offer a suggestion for you? I did a 'net search on "Yamilka" and came up with a number of people who share your name (I gather from my search that "Yamilka" is a Hispanic name). I suggest you try e-mailing these people and asking them directly whether they might happen to know the meaning of their name. And, if they don't know the meaning of their name, perhaps they might be willing to question an older family member about it? Here are your fellow Yamilkas, whom I've found:First name: Yamilka

Yikes! Dont these poor folks deserve some cyber-privacy?@@@@ My charming Paulus, I believe that the words "cyber" and "privacy" together form an oxymoron. Kind of like the term "military intelligence."Hmmm... I like that name for you, "Paulus". If you ever consider becoming a Satanist, you can change your name to "Paulus P. Pangod" -- and keep your six-letter middle name a secret. :)-- Nanaea

Actually my name is Pavlos in Greek; as for Pan, he had goat's feet.'nuff said.

Nanaea,You're going to besmirch your Satanic reputation, being this thoroughly helpful. But I agree completely with your analysis and your suggested approach.The only other possibility I thought of was Russian, but I checked Paul Goldschmidt's awesome online "Dictionary of Period Russian Names" (25,000 entries!), and it wasn't there. So it ain't Russian.

You're going to besmirch your Satanic reputation, being this thoroughly helpful.@@@@ Well, I'm being helpful in a purely Satanic manner, Davidh. See, I'm also curious to know what the name "Yamilka" means. And if I can get someone else to do all that e-mailing in order to find out for me, then that's certainly to my advantage.Of course, that's assuming that our Yamilka posts back here again with the results of her research. Here's hoping she does, and she's not a Satanist, herself. :)-- Nanaea
P.S. If you're reading this, Yamilka, there's also an out-of-print book listed on Amazon.com titled *Bebes Preciosos: 5,001 Hispanic Baby Names*. Your name just may be listed in that, if you can get hold of a copy to find out. Check with your local public library and, if they don't have the book, see if they can do a county-wide, or even state-wide, search for interlibrary loan for you.

You could also try looking for it through Worldcat electronic card catalog to find the nearest copy of that book. If any library in the entire world has a copy, it would be listed here. I don't know its web address exactly, but you might be able to access it through a college library electronic card catalog.
