Camilla

Origine et signification de Camilla

Camilla goes back to the Latin camilla, the term for a girl of noble birth who attended sacred rites. In Virgil's Aeneid it becomes the name of a fierce Volscian warrior maiden, lending it an air of courage and freedom. Common in Italy and much loved in Scandinavia, it is also familiar in the English-speaking world. Its appeal lies in classical elegance and the soft rhythm of its three syllables.
