The surname Miller is primarily of Scottish origin, from Orkney, Caithness, Perth and Kinross, Stirling, North Lanarkshire and South Lanarkshire. It derives from the occupation of miller. The name Miller also originates from some places in England, notably Dorset and western Lancashire. Here are some of the most famous people who's last names are Miller:

1.	Frederick Miller - (born Nov. 24, 1824) was a brewery owner who founded the Miller Brewing Company in 1855. He was born in Germany, and died of cancer on May 11, 1888. He is buried in the Calvary Cemetery in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Without him, we'd have no Man Laws and Budweiser would have a monopoly on our favorite drink.
2.	Dennis Miller - (born Nov. 3, 1953, in Pittsburgh, PA) an American Emmy Award-winning comedian, political commentator, television personality, and talk radio host. He was a member of Sigma Tau Gamma Fraternity at Point Park University where he majored in journalism. He rose to fame as a cast member of Saturday Night Live in the late 1980s, and subsequently hosted a string of his own talk shows on HBO, CNBC and in syndication. He has more recently become known for his conservative opinions including an aggressive stance on U.S. military action. He now appears regularly on Fox News Channel's The O'Reilly Factor and The 1/2 Hour News Hour, and is the host of a three-hour daily nationally syndicated radio show titled The Dennis Miller Show.
3.	Frank Miller - (born Jan. 27, 1957) an American writer, artist and film director best known for his film noir-style comic book stories. He is one of the most widely-recognized and popular creators in comics, and is one of the most influential comics creators of his generation. He created Sin City, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, and Daredevil.
4.	Samuel Bode Miller - (born Oct.12, 1977), best known as Bode Miller (pronounced Bo-dee) an American alpine skier. In 2005, he became the first American in 22 years to win the overall alpine skiing World Cup title. Miller's total of 25 race victories on the World Cup circuit ranks second all-time among Americans behind Mahre. He is also a four-time World Champion in four different disciplines and has a pair of silver medals from the 2002 Winter Olympics. On May 12, 2007, Miller announced that he would be leaving the U.S. Ski Team. Miller's fame was partly spawned by his 2002 Winter Olympics slalom performance where, as a relatively unknown athlete, he hiked back up the course to finish after missing a gate – a rare, mostly symbolic act of dedication in a sport where hundredths of second often separate gold from bronze.
5.	Glenn Miller - (born Alton on March 1, 1904 — presumably Dec. 15, 1944) was an American jazz musician and bandleader in the swing era. He was one of the best-selling recording artists from 1939 to 1942, leading one of the best known "Big Bands." During World War II, while traveling to entertain U.S. troops in France, his plane disappeared in bad weather. His body was never found. Miller's signature recordings — including, among others, "In the Mood", "Tuxedo Junction", "Chattanooga Choo Choo", "Moonlight Serenade", "Sun Valley Jump", "String of Pearls", "Little Brown Jug", "Pennsylvania 6-5000" (named for the phone number of New York's Hotel Pennsylvania, whose ballroom was Miller's primary venue) — are still familiar refrains, even to generations born decades after Miller disappeared.
6.	Judith Miller - (born Jan. 2, 1948), is a controversial American journalist. Miller, based in Washington D.C., was a prominent New York Times reporter with access to top U.S. government officials. Her coverage of these officials, especially regarding the Bush administration’s conclusions about Iraq’s alleged Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) Program and her involvement in the Plame Affair, made her a conspicuous media personality. Miller announced her retirement from The New York Times on November 9, 2005. In July of 2005, Miller was jailed for contempt of court for refusing to testify before a federal grand jury investigating a leak naming Valerie Plame as a covert CIA agent. Miller did not write about Plame, but was reportedly in possession of evidence relevant to the leak investigation.
7.	Reggie Miller - (born Aug. 24, 1965, in Riverside, CA) is a retired American professional basketball player. Miller spent the entirety of his 18-year NBA career with the Indiana Pacers. Miller was known for his precision three-point field goal shooting, especially in clutch situations. He holds the NBA record for career three-pointers made (2,560). Currently, he works as an NBA commentator (along with his sister Cheryl) for TNT. Miller is one of five Pacer greats (the others are Roger Brown, Mel Daniels, Coach Bobby "Slick" Leonard and George McGinnis) to have his jersey (#31) retired by the Pacers. Reggie Miller was recently selected for the Pacers' 40th anniversary team.
