History & Origin

Cammi is a short form of Camille or Camilla, from the Latin 'camillus', a youth who assisted at religious rites. In the late twentieth century the affectionate short form, dressed with a trendy -i ending, appeared on birth records in its own right rather than as a mere nickname.

It was a rarity throughout, cresting faintly in the late nineteen-nineties with a scattered later presence. It reads as a late-century nickname-name, casual and dated, and has stayed uncommon.

Did you know? The -i spelling of pet names like Cammi, Tammi and Jodi was a hallmark of late-twentieth-century style, turning traditional nicknames into cheerful stand-alone names.
