Camillia is a variant of the name Camilla, which originates from the Latin term "camillus," meaning "helper to the priest" or "acolyte." The name has its roots in ancient Roman culture, where it was associated with a legendary warrior maiden named Camilla in Virgil's Aeneid. Over time, the spelling has evolved, and Camillia has become a distinct variant, often associated with the flowering shrub Camellia, named after the botanist Georg Joseph Kamel. Despite its rich history, Camillia is not as popular as its variants Camilla or Camelia, but it retains a unique charm and cultural significance.
