The word is frequently mentioned in The Bible, the Hebrew word 'Halabh' meaning milk in its fresh state and is often connected with honey. Milk has been available from sheep, goats, camels and cows for many centuries. In Europe, the West Saxon word was 'Meoluc', a Norse word 'Mjolk' and Dutch and German 'Melken'. Russian and Czech words some from the same source. The word Milkmaid appeared in the 14th Century and the word Milkman (a man selling milk for profit) a little later. Milk Chocolate was recorded in the mid 1700's
