History & Origin

Jamille is a streamlined form of Jamila, the Arabic name from jamil, meaning beautiful, with its -ille ending borrowing the polish of the French Camille. It belongs to the wave of Arabic-rooted names embraced in African American communities from the later twentieth century, reshaped for a smoother sound. Jamille appears in United States birth records with a small high around the early nineteen-nineties and is occasionally used for boys as well.

It never became common, given to only a couple dozen a year at its peak, so a Jamille from then would be in her thirties today. Its blend of Arabic meaning and French style gives it more richness than its rarity might suggest.

Did you know? Jamille catches both the Arabic Jamila and the French Camille in one short, elegant shape.
