Origin and meaning of Camillo
Camillo comes from the Latin camillus, the term for a noble-born boy who assisted in sacred rites. The name thus blends nobility and devotion, and boasts illustrious bearers: Saint Camillus de Lellis, patron of the sick, and Camillo Benso di Cavour, architect of Italian unification. Common in Italy, it has counterparts in the French Camille and the Spanish Camilo. It keeps an aristocratic, historic tone—elegant and rich in civic and spiritual meaning.
