History & Origin

Kamillia sits between two names. Camilla comes from the Roman family name Camillus, connected to a word for a young attendant who served at religious rites, and it was carried into literature by Virgil's warrior Camilla in the Aeneid. Camellia is a flower name, coined in honour of Georg Kamel, a Jesuit missionary and botanist. The two converge in sound, and modern spellings like Kamillia draw on both - which we say plainly rather than choosing one (said 'kuh-MEEL-yuh').

It appears only in very small numbers in the U.S. Rare, soft, and flower-flavoured.

Did you know? The camellia flower is named for Georg Kamel, a Jesuit botanist - so the flower name and the Roman name Camilla arrive at nearly the same sound by entirely different roads.
