Kamilla

Kamilla is a Latinate feminine name ultimately derived from the Roman family name Camillus, itself of uncertain Etruscan origin, though it was associated in Latin with the word camillus, denoting a youth who assisted at religious rites. The name gained wide currency through Virgil's Aeneid, in which Camilla appears as a swift warrior maiden of the Volsci, lending the name a heroic and legendary resonance. It spread across Europe through ecclesiastical and literary influence and is now well established as the standard feminine form in Russian, Hungarian, Polish, and the Scandinavian languages. Closely related forms include Camilla, Camille, and Kamila.
