The name Camilla originates from Latin and means "altar server". It derives originally from a term designating attendants in Roman religious ceremonies. In the nineteenth century it gained its greatest fame as a result of the novel and play by Dumas, "The Lady of the Camellias", which served as the basis for Verdi's opera "La Traviata" and several films including Greta Garbo's "Camille". It is a pet name and not the given name of the heroine, and the Latin root has no relation to the flower that is her symbol. The flower Camellia was named for Georg Joseph Kamel, who first described it in the 18th century. Kamilah has also its origin in Arabic (كاملة), in which it means perfect.

Variations of the name include: Camella, Camila, Camilah, Camile, Camille, Kamila, Kamilah, Kamilla, and Kamille.

Short forms: "English:" Cammy, Cam, Milly, Milla. "Slovak:" Kamilka.
