Miles is likely a patronymic surname derived from a Middle English form of Michael. Possibly it could also be that the s was used as a patronymic suffix so that the name means "son of Mile," with Mile being a variant of the name Milo which has disputed etymology varying from the Latin mīles meaning soldier to having possibly a Germanic/Slavic origin from mil- meaning "grace."
