Mildred

/mihldruhd/
English Male

Mildred is a English name meaning "Mildred, when considered as a male name, is highly unusual and lacks a generally accepted meaning. Historically a female name, its elements suggest 'gentle strength' or 'mild counselor', but applied to males, any meaning would be highly speculative.". The name Mildred is derived from the Old English elements *milde* meaning 'gentle, mild' and *þrēat* meaning 'strength, force, power'.
