Kamilla

Kamilla is a feminine form of the Latin name Camillus, itself of uncertain pre-Latin, possibly Etruscan, origin; it was the title given to a freeborn youth who assisted at Roman religious rites. The name gained widespread use across Europe largely through the influence of the virtuous heroine Camille in Jean-Baptiste de La Fontaine's writings and later operatic traditions, as well as through Christian veneration of Saint Camillus de Lellis. It functions as the standard or common spelling of the name in Russian, Hungarian, Polish, Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish traditions. Related forms include Camilla, Camille, and Kamille.
