The name "Milli" - what would this be derived from or short for in ? Hebrew ? Yiddish. It's the daughter of a very frum couple and I'm confident it would have some Torah/Tanach/biblical basis.

Maybe Milka, a Hebrew name. She was one of the daughters of Tzelfchad.
Or it could be Mee Lee, a modern Israeli name. It means, "who is for me", as in Hillel's statement, "Im ein ani li mili?" - If I am not for myself, who is for me?
Might she be carrying the English name Millie of an ancestor?

Just wanted to point out that the Yiddish girl's name Mila has an "ih" sound like in milk.

Maybe it's a combo of two names, like miriam Leiba? Or something like that? I've heard ppl who combine the beginnings of 2 names to be the nickname, like moyo for Moshe yosef.
