Source Language: Melenic
Etymology
-Comes from Proto-Melenic word <Milene> which meant "Representative of the people." Since in this early part of their history, the melenic peoples sent out women as their representatives and ambassadors to other local tribes.
-Once all the tribes in the local area of the Melenic tribe became united, the need for ambassadors and representatives subsided. The women who harbored this positions retired and the newer generations showed their respect by referring to them as "Milene". Eventually, this term evolved to "Milana" and came to be used a respectful name for all women who have reached the age of maturity.
