Camillia

Camillia is a feminine name that represents a variation of Camilla, with origins in Latin. The name is associated with virginal attendants to the goddess Diana in Roman mythology, particularly the swift-footed warrior maiden Camilla from Virgil's 'Aeneid.' The double 'l' spelling adds a flowing, ornate quality to the name. Camillia also connects to the camellia flower, known for its perfect symmetry and glossy leaves, lending botanical associations to the name. Though less common than Camilla or Camille, Camillia offers the friendly nicknames Cami, Millie, or Lia. The name carries connotations of grace, strength and natural beauty. Camillia peaked in popularity in the United States in the early 20th century but remains relatively uncommon, giving it both historical roots and distinctive appeal.

Pronounced kuh-MIL-yuh.

As of October 2026, Camillia ranked #13518 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1921 in 1987.
