Just what you think - it's a figurative traveling idiom. You're "going" more than you might, as if you were traveling an extra mile.
Two; the north and south poles. Because a compass will always point you in the direction of the poles due to their magnetic emission, if you start exactly at the north pole and travel due south one mile and due west one more mile, your compass will point you directly back to the pole, which you will be exactly one mile away from, and likewise for the south pole.
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."
Mile After Mile was created in 1969.
The origin takes place during the "Sermon on the Mount" in Matthew 5:41 where it states, "If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles." Most interpret this to have meant that by carrying further (e.g.: an extra mile) he was doing more than what was being asked of him and thus, would be blessed for "Going The Extra Mile", teaching the listeners that by doing more than what one is asked, one is blessed or gains favor. Even though this is the origin, it is a common misinterpretation of the scripture. In context, Jesus was teaching to Jewish peasants whom were living in a time of great injustice to the Jewish people. The example in this verse of "going the extra mile" was in regards to the Roman Impressment Law. Under this law if a Roman Soldier passed you he could tell you to come carry his pack for up to one mile. By law you forced to go with him, however he could not force you to go further. By Jesus teaching to go another mile with him, it was a way of creatively exposing the injustice that was happening. Simply put, at the end of the mile when the soldier asks for his pack back, simply say, "it's ok, I'm good" and keep walking. Eventually this soldier would be pleading with you to get the pack back or else he may get in trouble. When he commanded you to carry his pack he was doing it as a superior; now he's pleading for back.
