Milcah 
There are two Milcah's mentioned in the Bible. The most famous one is the niece and wife of Nahor. This Milcah is the daughter of Haran, the brother of Nahor and Abraham. The other Milcah is one of many daughters of Zelophead, the great-great-great-grandson of Manasseh, the oldest son of Joseph (Num 26:33).
The name Milcah comes from the verb (malak 1199) to be or become king or queen. The derivatives are king, queen, royalty, sovereign power, and also the pagan god Molech, the fire god to whom children were sacrificed. In Neh 5:7 we find a different usage of the root (malak 1200); to consult. NOBSE favors this root and reads Counsel.
The name Milca is the same as derivative (malka 1199b), meaning queen, which occurs 35 times in Scriptures.
The name Milcah means Queen.
Another name from this same stock is Melchizedek. A name that is derived from an alternative word for queen (or rather 'regent') is Sarah.
