feminine · English origin
Camilla is a feminine name of Latin origin, derived from the Roman title camillus, referring to a freeborn youth who assisted at religious rituals, itself possibly of Etruscan origin. In Roman mythology, Camilla is a warrior maiden of the Volsci tribe featured in Virgil's Aeneid, celebrated for her speed and bravery in battle. The name has been in continuous use across Western Europe and gained renewed international attention through Camilla, Queen Consort of the United Kingdom. Related forms include the French Camille, which is used for both sexes, and the Latinate Kamilla found in several Scandinavian and Eastern European traditions.
