Kameelah Origin and Meaning

The name Kameelah is a girl's name.

Kameelah appears to be a variant spelling of Kamila or Kamilah, which has roots in multiple linguistic traditions. The name likely derives from the Arabic name Kamilah, meaning 'perfect' or 'complete.' There are also connections to the Latin name Camilla, referring to a young ceremonial attendant or possibly meaning 'freeborn.' The spelling variation with 'ee' represents a phonetic adaptation that emphasizes that vowel sound. The name gained modest popularity in the United States from the 1970s onward. The presence of the name in Arabic-speaking cultures gives it international connections, while its adoption in the United States represents the broadening of naming influences in American culture during the late 20th century. The name combines a beautiful meaning with multicultural resonance, appealing to parents seeking names with both distinctive sounds and meaningful origins.
