Millicents

Millicent is an English female given name.

It goes back to the Norman name Melisende , which in turn represents a French version of the Germanic Amalaswinth (also Amalasuintha , Amalasuntha ; from amal "work" and swinth "strength"). The name has lost a lot of its popularity over the past few decades and is considered out of date. In 1990, only 0.009% of newborn girls in the US were baptized with this name.
