Milney ???? I need help - is it a nickname? a proper name??

I have a relative who shows up in the census of 1820 Wilson county, TN as Milney Cutrell. I have personally seen the census and that is spelled correctly. She is a widow, I am guessing. She is the head of the household. We cannot locate a husband for her because 1810 TN census does not exist, yet we know they lived in TN during this time, and another child was born in 1809/10 in TN.

This name is driving me nuts! I have located it as a surname, but am unsure how she got stuck with it for a given name. Anyway, any thoughts???
