Name
The Serbian knight that killed Murad was unnamed until 15th century. Athenian scholar Laonicus Chalcondyles (d. c. 1490), claiming to draw on Greek traditions, refers to Murad's killer as Miloes, Milion , Milin or Milon.

In the work of Aşıkpaşazade (d. 1484), he is named Biliš Kobila (Билиш Кобила) or Beleš Kjubila (Белеш Кјубила). In the work of Serbian janissary Konstantin Mihailović (1435-1501) written in ca. 1497, his name is written as Miloš Kobila. In the work of Ottoman chronicler Mehmed Neşrî (d. ca. 1520), his name is rendered Miloš Kobila or Miloš Kobilović. In Slovene monk Benedikt Kuripešić's Balkan travel memoirs dating to 1530, he uses Miloš Kobilović. The Italian edition of Doukas chronicles (15th century) renders the name Miloš Kobilić. Mavro Orbini (1601) renders the name Miloš Kobilić. Ludovik Crijević Tuberon (1459–1527), in his Writings on the Present Age (published in 1603), Milon is used.

The surname is etymologically derived from the Slavic word kobila, meaning "mare"; in Serbian myths he is mentioned to have been raised in "mare's milk".

Czech historian Konstantin Jireček (1854-1918) pointed out the possible connection to two noble families: in medieval Ragusa, there was a noble family called Kobilić (one member was mentioned as viscount of Breno in 1390), and in the 14th and 15th centuries, there was a noble family called Kobiljačić in Trebinje.

In the early 18th century, the form Obilić was introduced. The form Obilić is used in Mihailo Miloradović's manuscript (1714-1715), (Г) manuscript (1727), and by Pavle Julinac (1763); The form Kobilić is used in (УБ) manuscript (1715-1725), Mihailo Jeličić's manuscript (1745); Both Kobilić and Obilić are used in Ilija Jovanov's manuscript (1750); The form Obiljević is used in Vasilije Petrović's work History of Montenegro (1754); The form Omiljević is used in the Podgorica chronicle; The form Hobilić (Хобилић) is used in a Ravanica manuscript (1764). The form Obilić is derived from the Serbian words obilan, "plenty of", obilje, "wealth, abundance". Konstantin Jireček believes that the Serbian writers saw the original name as indecent.

English historian Noel Malcolm said that the surname Kobilić might be derived from the Vlach and Albanian word kopil/copil, which means "child" or "bastard child", however, he ignores the fact that the same word exists in Serbian language.

 * Historian G. Elezović connects the Serbian nobleman Dimitri Jond-ogli (Dimitrije) who took Pirot, also mentioned by Neşrî, to Miloš. He says that Neşrî adopted "Jond-ogli" (jond, jund means "unskilled mare who lives in the paddock" in Turkish) from Aşıkpaşazade's Kobila - most likely Neşrî or somebody else translated it into Turkish Jond-ogli. Neşrî does not say if Dimitrije is the same person as Miloš, or if they were from the same family.
