It's actually my name and I'm the only one in my family who likes my name (thank you Mom!). I like it because it's not a complicated name but yet, it's not a name you hear much except in Eastern Europe.

From what I've always heard, in Serbia, Milena is the feminine form of Milan, and means something like "beloved". I don't know if this is really true because, even though my father was Serbian, I grew up in Brazil.

Though many often skim over pronunciation, the correct is MEE-LAY-NUH.

Incorrect. That is probably how an Anglophone would pronounce the name. It's pronounced Me-le-nah.
