History & Origin

Camilia is a blend of Camilla — Latin camilla, 'a young ceremonial attendant; a noble girl who served at religious rites' (a swift warrior maiden in Virgil's Aeneid) — and Camellia, the elegant flowering shrub (named for botanist G.J. Kamel; routes layered, which we note). A soft, lyrical name (said 'kə-MEE-lee-ah').

It registers thinly beside Camilla. Rare, a-young-attendant-or-a-camellia at the root, and lyrical.

Did you know? Camilla means 'a young attendant at a ritual' in Latin (a warrior maiden of the Aeneid) — and Camellia names the elegant flower — Camilia braids the two; soft and lyrical.
