Camilla
kuh-MIL-uh
A classic Roman name associated with ritual service and priestly dedication.
Meaning
Camilla is usually taken as the feminine form of Camillus, a Roman name traditionally glossed as “attendant at a sacrifice.” The excerpts also connect it with an older, possibly Etruscan background and with the legendary Camilla of the Aeneid, a devoted follower of Diana. That makes the name feel both ceremonial and heroic.
