The 'Resident Evil' star and her fiancé, director Paul Anderson, named their daughter - who was born at Los Angeles' Cedars Sinai Medical Center on November 3 - Ever Gabo Anderson, after merging several names.
Milla, 31, wrote in a blog on her official website: "The name Ever is a Scottish boy's name. Paul has Scottish blood in him (not to mention two tartans in his family!) so we wanted to give her a name that reflected her 'Celtic' roots.
"And Gabo is a mixture of my parents' names! The first two letters are after my mom's first name, Galina and the last two letters are after my dad's first name Bogie!"
Milla met Paul, 42, in 2002, when he directed her in 'Resident Evil'. They announced their engagement in March 2003, but are yet to reveal a date for their wedding.
During her pregnancy, the model-turned-actress - who has previously admitted that when she was modelling she kept thin on a diet of coffee and cigarettes - has been enjoying the excuse to eat whatever she wants and pile on the pounds.
She said: "I'm gaining weight, which is fun.
"I've been craving lots of bad stuff but I've been cooking a lot. I did this amazing slow-roasted tomato dip the other night, and steaks, and my mom's potatoes.
"My diet for most of this year has been - for breakfast, four eggs with bacon, toast and butter, if I was at home. Then if I was at a diner, I'd have a Mexican omelette, a stack of pancakes and strawberry milkshake."
Milla also revealed that she craved bone marrow during the early stages of her pregnancy.
