An old Slavic two-part name from *wsze-*, "all," and *-miła*, "dear": dear to everyone. Almost no one carries it today, with only four women on record, and no girls have been given it this century.

What Wszemiła means
Where Wszemiła comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Wszemiła belongs to the old Slavic stock of two-part names. It is built from wsze-, an element meaning "all" or "everyone," and -miła, "dear" or "pleasant." The same wsze- survives in the Polish phrase wszem i wobec, an old formula for "to all and sundry." Put the halves together and you get "dear to all."
The -miła root ties the name to a wider Slavic family. Bogumił means "dear to God," and the everyday word miły still means kind or likeable. Where Bogumił points the affection in one direction, Wszemiła spreads it across everyone. The sense stays legible without a dictionary.
A teacher reading the class register meets it rarely now. The dithematic names faded after the baptism of Poland, as saints' names took over the font. Yet the meaning sits close to the surface. Anyone who knows that wszystko means "all" can unpack the promise folded into the second half. Wszystkim miła: dear to all.
