Carmila

Carmila is a feminine name with Latin and Spanish roots. It is a variation of Carmela or Carmen, ultimately derived from the Hebrew name Carmel, meaning "garden" or "vineyard of God." Carmila carries a melodic quality with its flowing syllables and soft ending. Though less common than its variants, Carmila maintains a timeless elegance and exotic charm. It has never been among the most popular names in the United States but holds appeal for parents seeking a distinctive yet familiar-sounding name. The name evokes images of warmth and beauty, much like its original garden-inspired meaning.

Pronounced kar-MEE-luh.

As of October 2026, Carmila ranked #15376 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #9826 in 1977.
