Just because Milan has "a" in it does not make it a feminine name. Milan is a masculine name in certain Slavic countries, and will always be that way no matter on what gender it is used. I usually don't care about city names, so I wouldn't name my son Milan, but this is a fine name for a boy. I have never considered it feminine or unisex in any way. Use Milena or Mila instead if you're considering Milan for a girl!

Personally, I believe Milan can be used for either girls or boys because it is the 21st-century and 'girl' and 'boy' names don't exist, whatever that means. I am quite confused as to why the Europeans here believe that Europe is the only continent and that other countries use the same naming 'rules'.
Some of you say "it's like naming a girl Jack' but I hope you're aware that there are girls named Jack and boys named Jackie, which is usually thought as more feminine.
Either way, choose whatever name you want. Personally, it seems kinda tacky to me, especially in countries where people immediately think of the city when they hear the name.

It feels too soft for a male name, looks like some soft, sweet name for a female, but doesn't sound like a male name. Anyway, I don't like this name, it feels rather boring and just, not interesting.

I love that a good chunk of the comments regarding the name can be boiled down to "many of the [possibly sexist and homophobic?] people in my strongly heteronormative part of the world think this is a male name, therefore, ALL people everywhere, regardless of how inclined they are to participate in gender policing, are also required to consider this a male name, otherwise they might one day come across a chauvinistic Southern Slav who, when he meets their daughter Milan, will get his panties in a bunch and go cry to mommy." Yeah, those people are definitely the people you should listen to when choosing a name for your baby.

I'm sorry but as someone who's part Slavic myself, this will never be a feminine name for me. Mila and Milana are both great feminine alternatives for this name so why not use them?

I never knew Milan was a boy name. But either way, either this name is actually unisex or not is debatable. But outside of America, it is a boy name.

You Americans have to understand that this is indeed a Slavic and also an Indian name, and very many Slavs and also Indians live in USA and they will never see this as a girl's name or even a "unisex" name.
You can use it for your daughter but she then will have a male name. It does not change because non Slavs and non Indians start using our names. A good version for your daughter is Mila or Milana. Those are the girl versions of Milan.

By the way, the Wiktionary source CLAIMS it to be FEMININE in English and MASCULINE in Slavic Countries.
https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/Milan
As a FEMININE name, it may be named after a city in Italy. From Italian Milano, from Latin Mediōlānum. The lack of the final Italianate vowel suffix -o suggests a borrowing from French Milan.

I'm laughing my butt off at people believing Milan is a female name. That's just hilarious. Milán in Hungary is also a pretty famous male name, in fact, I find it to be beautiful and gentle to the sound. But then again, I can't really say much since the Italian city in Hungarian is Milano and on top of that, we don't have such ridiculous freedom in naming our kids like in America (like naming yours after cities). Nonetheless, it's somehow offensive on behalf of its Slavic origin if the parents didn't have the city in mind when they chose it for their daughter.

Milan is a name for boys and men only. There is Slavic Milan and Indian Milan. Both are male names. Please don't give your daughters this name if you live in the USA. Because now the world becomes more and more international, and sooner or later your daughters will meet Indians, Croatians, Slovenes, Slovaks, Serbs, Bulgarians, Ukrainians, Macedonians, Czechs, etc - this name is a classic male name in all these nationalities. And many of them come to the USA as well. They don't understand it, because she looks like a girl, but still has a boy's name. If you really like this name and you have a daughter, I would suggest: Mila, Milana, Milena. Those are female names, with similar Slavic meanings, and also very beautiful.
And some almost similar female names are: Melania, Malin, Miriam, Milani.

Milan Panić is a Serbian American former Prime Minister of Yugoslavia, humanitarian, and multimillionaire businessman based in Newport Beach and Pasadena, California. He served as Prime Minister of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia from 1992 to 1993. During and after his time as Prime Minister, he campaigned for peace and democracy in the Balkan region. He ran for President of Serbia in 1992, ultimately coming in second to Slobodan Milošević in an election marked by allegations of media and vote tampering by the ruling party. Panić became Prime Minister of Yugoslavia while an American citizen. The legality of retaining US citizenship while accepting this office has been questioned based on a Constitutional prohibition of a US citizen accepting office on behalf of a foreign nation. Panić is the first US citizen to occupy a high-level political position in a foreign country since Golda Meir.

The only reason this strikes me as kind of feminine is because of Mulan. But I kind of like it on a boy. The pronunciation mih-LAHN is definitely English, and the first thing that comes to mind is the city.

My father is Serbian, he mentioned Milan being a male's names. Did I listen? Nope. My mother is Latin and I'm American so when I decided to name my daughter Milan it was more based on the city. The reason? My first daughter is Miami, Milan and third Madison... all names of cities to me.
I didn't even think or hesitate on the name not being for a girl because I don't live in Serbia, don't plan on living anywhere in Europe in my lifetime so I doubt it'll affect us.
We may get the confused look from Serbs or anyone else who knows it's a boys name but there's so few we run into (we live in a predominantly Hispanic and White American area)- I doubt I will ever encounter enough Slavs in my lifetime to make me doubt the choice of names, we just aren't around too many.

Hi to all, I have read all previous comments and honestly all I think of is that you can give your son/daughter any name you want. The whole issue related to it is that you have to take into consideration the below:
1. The name should have a good meaning
2. No one can choose a funny, silly nickname to it and your child gets bullied!
3. Also think about your child loving that name
What I did with my wife is that we chose a middle name for the child to have the choice in case possibly he/she didn't like the name given.
Anyways again its all about love. Be kind to one another.
Thank you.

I have read all of the information about this name from the previous comments; the origin, meaning, preferred gender, etc... And while I respect the culture behind this name and the passion that Slav's have with the tradition for this name to be only for boys, I still plan to name my unborn daughter Milan. Since my husband and I decided on this name it made me smile and every time I say the name (talking to my unborn daughter or telling someone what her name will be) I smile. It makes me feel joyful and happy. I am so in love with this name that I know it belongs to my daughter. If this makes me cultureless or stupid (as said in the previous comments), then so be it. I would much rather name my child something that makes me feel good and proud regardless of anyone else's opinion... other's opinions are irrelevant. I'm happy, my husband is happy, and we will be sure that our daughter is happy and that's all that matters to us.

This should be listed as a Slovak name, too. Milan is on their calendar of name days, is the name of historical Slovak figures, and is one of the most popular names for Slovak men. [noted -ed]
Also, "Milanko" is a diminutive form.

Milan is a male name of South Slavic origin (Serbian (e.g. Milan I King of Serbia (1882–1889)), Croatian, Slovenian). Its meaning is 'dear, gracious, beloved'. At the beginning of the 20th century this name started to be used by Slovaks and Czechs (i.e. West Slavic nations who lived together with the above mentioned ones in the Austrian Empire). During the 20th century this name has almost replaced ancient Miloslav (which has the same meaning) in the Czechlands and Slovakia. Nowadays name Milan is wide-spread in Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, the Czech Republic (more than 2% of men are named Milan) and Slovakia. It has no connection with the Latin name Aemilius etc. (which is Emil in Slavic languages), the Scottish surname MacMillan or even Italian city Milan (which name is derived from its Latin name Mediolanum (which means 'in the middle of the plain')). Latin names with similar meaning are Amandus or Gratianus. Its only correct female form is Milana (or Milena). It is not only a custom, but it relates with the creation of words in Slavic languages. The female names have the extension 'a' (Milan - Milana, Miloslav - Miloslava, Jan - Jana …). Compare that with the formation of Latin names (Julius - Julia, Gaius - Gaia, Octavius - Octavia, …). The grammar of Slavic languages (as well as Latin) is complicated and very sensitive to genders, declension and conjugation (and it is performed just by extensions). That in the recent times the name Milan is used too for girls in the US, cannot change this fact (and for most Europeans it is not imaginable to name their baby after the city). Please, use only the correct female version for girls, i.e. Milana (and you can pronounce it as you want)! But the correct Slavic pronunciation is Mi-lan (Mi-la-na) with 'i' as 'i' in the word nick and 'a' as 'u' in the word bus, i.e. all syllables shortly.
According to the Czech law:
It is not permitted to register a name maimed, diminutive or homely;
It is not permitted to register a male name as female, and vice versa;
It is not permitted to register an impersonal name (ie representing things, days, cities, etc.) or a name that is used as a surname;
You can select only a name documented, existing, and therefore it is not permitted to invent a new name.
Name Milan is on the official list mentioned as a male name and therefore it is impossible to give this name to a girl in the Czech Republic. Any such attempt would be rejected by the register office.
In Czech language, no name can be unisex. Each name has to be either feminine or masculine. It is necessary for its declension. Name Milan is declined according to the masculine pattern 'pan' (master). There is no feminine pattern according to this noun could be declined. Using the name without declension (i.e. always in it's the 1st case) is problematic and in some situations it can completely change the meaning of a sentence in Czech language. As there is apparent from the comments, it is for all people from the countries of its origin as obvious as ‘at day is light and at night is dark’.
I do not want to controvert about advantages/disadvantages or risks of possibility to give the names absolutely freely in the US. But I think, if you decide to give to your child the existing name, you should respect its origin. I.e., if this name is used in the Slavic meaning 'dear/beloved/gracious person' than you must respect its gender. Using this name after Italian city in the meaning 'a town in the middle of the plain' seems to me absolutely crazy.
But if you think that my arguments are not strong enough to convince you that Milan is a male name (regardless that in the US it has begun to be given to girls in recent years). So I could accept such a definition:
Milan is the second-largest city in Italy and the capital of Lombardy. Name of the city is derived from its Latin name Mediolanum which means 'in the middle of the plain'.
In the US, Milan is a recently invented unisex name mostly inspired by the city of Milan. In Europe, its using as a female name is unacceptable or even prohibited.
In Europe, Milan is a strictly male name of South Slavic origin. Its meaning is 'dear, gracious, beloved'. Milan is a traditional and wide-spread name in Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, the Czechlands and Slovakia (at least half million men are so named in these countries). Its only correct female form is Milana or Milena.
And to ensure completeness, I present more the use of the name Milan (however inspiring to use Milan for boys):
In French and German, Milan is a name of the medium-large birds of prey in the hawk family:
Milan royal (French), Roter Milan (German), Red Kite (English), Milvus milvus (Latin), Luňák červený (Czech).
Milan noir (French), Schwarzer Milan (German), Black Kite (English), Milvus migrans (Latin), Luňák hnědý (Czech).
Milan is a French and German missile. Its name is an acronym of the French 'Missile léger antichar' (Light Anti-Tank Missile) and is inspired by the raptor 'Milan' (Kite).

Milan strikes me as a female name. Maybe it's because all the Milans I know are girls.

Milan can never be a unisex name because its of male gender. A female version is Milena or Milana. The male version is never used for a girl unless you are a non-Slav and you don't know how our names work. To a foreigner it might sound as a girls name - I honestly don't see how - but to a Slav it never would. Anyway, a beautiful name in my opinion and its female counterpart.
