History & Origin

Jamillia is a fuller spelling of Jamila, drawn from the Arabic jamil, 'beautiful' or 'graceful.' The doubled 'l' and extra lilt are American refinements of a classic name, so the meaning stays with the original while the look is dressed up.

American records show Jamillia mainly around the nineteen-nineties, given to only about fifteen girls a year at its peak and never common. A girl named Jamillia then would be in her thirties today.

Did you know? Jamillia's root, the Arabic jamil ('beautiful'), is the same one behind Jamil for boys and Jamila for girls - a family of names all built on the idea of beauty and grace.
