Mylläri (surname)

Last updated

Mylläri literally meaning "miller" is an occupational surname of Finnish language origin.

Miller person who produces flour or other products by operating a mill

A miller is a person who operates a mill, a machine to grind a grain to make flour. Milling is among the oldest of human occupations. "Miller", "Milne", and other variants are common surnames, as are their equivalents in other languages around the world. Milling existed in hunter-gatherer communities, and later millers were important to the development of agriculture.

In Finland, a person must have a surname and can have up to three given names. Surnames are usually inherited patrilineally, while given names are usually chosen by a person's parents. Finnish names come from a variety of dissimilar traditions that were consolidated only in the early 20th century. The first national act on names came into force in 1921, and it made surnames mandatory. Between 1930 and 1985, the Western Finnish tradition whereby a married woman took her husband's surname was mandatory. Previously in Eastern Finland, this was not necessarily the case.

The surname may refer to:

Iisak Mylläri was a Finnish wrestler. He competed in the freestyle light heavyweight event at the 1924 Summer Olympics.
