I heard it was number one in Armenia few years ago, but it's not Caucasian name.

In Soviet times we had never had any Milena in Armenia,Diaspora doesn't have it up to now, we got some Milenas who moved to Armenia from Azerbaijan after the collapse of USSR, by the time it was a very uknown name for us.

Edit:

Never heard of any Milana in Armenia but have a neighbour of around 55 called Melania...

not all of our names are Slavonic, there are some that are unique here.

Example, Domagoj, Borna, Visko, Mišo...etc

Are you sure?
Domagoj sounds like dom+goj, what are both Slavic words, dom meaning home and goj is something like growing... Borna could be version of Boris, from boriti se , meaning to fight. Visko from visoko, what means high.

Those are all Slavic roots, although you are right that those names are Croatian and not common in other Slavic coutries (although roots sounds Slavic). Are there another meanings too?

Mišo could come from Michael...

I have a feeling that the old English names have turned into last names rather than first names. >> http://baby-names.adoption.com/origin/old-english.html

Hehe, that list was written by an imbecile.

They ARE surnames in that list, and were never used as personal names until recent times. It's a stupid fashion now to use them. Most of them are in fact placenames. And the majority of the 'definitions' there are absolutely WRONG. God, I hate swines who mislead our stupid gullible people with their lies!

I'm talking about old names like Beornmund, Eadwulf and Osthryth. These are totally forgotten by all except historians, apart from a very small set of exceptions, thanks to saints' cults: Edward, Oswald, Edwin, Cuthbert, etc. but most of them are considered too archaic by many.

Drug, they ARE Slavonic. THey are composed of Slavonic elements.

They are not found in other Slavs, so they are not Slavic(unless borrowed).

As for meaning, its questionable, but you are using "folk" way of finding similarities, which is funny, and not scientific.

They also could be Slavicized names, for instance Dalmat name Domator, is similar to Domagoj, and both are from Dalmatia

I for one don't have a trouble with most of Georgian names coming from Greeks and the like - they have been Georgianised and adapted to local standards like Russian names.
