The history of the last name Milarch

The surname MILARCH is believed to have originated in the region of Normandy, France, during the medieval period, likely in the 11th or 12th century.

This suggests that the name may have initially referred to someone who was a skilled archer or a member of a military unit specializing in archery.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in the Domesday Book, a comprehensive survey of land ownership and taxation commissioned by William the Conqueror in 1086. The name appears as "Milarch," suggesting that this spelling variation existed in the early Norman period.
