Origin

Late Middle English (originally in the sense 'native of Milan', later 'a vendor of fancy goods from Milan'): from Milan + -er1.

  • In the 16th century the city of Milan in northern Italy was famous for making small articles of women's dress and other fancy goods. Those who sold them were the original milliners (or ‘milaners’). In time the word became restricted to ‘a person who makes or sells women's hats’.
