It is a made up Hispanic name combining two trends: graphical adaptation to Spanish of an English word used as first name(Milady>Mileydi, Lady>Leydi) and the use of the ending -leydis/-leidis (Yurisleidis or Yuleidis, for example).This kind of creations is typical from some countries of Latin America, basically Colombia, Venezuela, Cuba, Puerto Rico and Mexico.It is pronounced mee-LAY-dees.

Thank you very much Lumia :-) I would have never made the connection between Milady and Mileydis. You have helped me a lot :-)
