Camilla

Camilla is a Latin name of uncertain ultimate origin, most familiar from Roman legend as the name of a warrior maiden in Virgil's Aeneid who was dedicated to the goddess Diana and fought against Aeneas. Some scholars connect it to the Latin word camillus, denoting a youth who assisted at religious ceremonies, though the deeper root remains debated. The name has been in continuous use across Europe, particularly in Italy and Scandinavia, and gained renewed attention through the British royal family in the modern era. Related forms include Camille, the common French variant, as well as the masculine Camillus and the diminutive Milla.
