What does Miley mean?
/ˈmaɪli/2 syllables

Miley doesn't have a traditional etymological root — it's a modern coinage rather than a name with ancient origins. It became widely known through singer Miley Cyrus, whose name grew out of a childhood nickname: family and friends called her "Smiley" as a baby, which was eventually shortened to Miley.

Miley has a bright, sunny sound that suits a pet with an outgoing, cheerful personality — a good fit for a companion who always seems to be smiling.
