History & Origin

Cammie is a pet form of Camille and Camilla, now used as a name in its own right. The parent names trace to Latin camillus and camilla, terms for a young attendant at a religious rite, and gain their glamour from Virgil's Camilla, the fleet-footed warrior of the Aeneid. Cammie itself is short, sunny and thoroughly modern in feel (said 'KAM-ee').

It is very rare in the U.S. as a standalone name, far behind Camille and Camilla. Friendly, brisk, and warm.

Did you know? Behind Cammie stands Camilla — in Virgil's Aeneid, a warrior maiden so swift she could run across a field of grain without bending the stalks (said 'KAM-ee').
