"Little Emil," "Millet," and "millet cake" are English equivalents of the Italian name Migliaccio. Context makes clear whether the masculine singular noun serves as a bratty diminutive for Emilio ("Emil," case 1) or as a surname (example 3) or a popular cake (instance 3) whose origins trace back to adding the pejorative suffix -accio ("bad," "less-than," "ugly") to the masculine singular noun miglio ("millet"). Regardless of meaning or use, the pronunciation will be "mee-LYAT-tcho" in Italian.
