In 1552, it was recorded: "Ivan Chernyshovich, Mylko bratyeho" in the city of Mozir. The name "Mylko" appears in Polish records from the 16th century (as Milko) in documentation from ancient Galicia and Lviv lands.Patronymics were also formed from the name "Mylko." For instance, in 1692, there is a mention of Jan Mylkovych - a landowner from Kyiv.
