Camilla (given Name)
Camilla and Camila are given names for females. They originate as the feminine of camillus, a term for a youth serving as acolyte in the ritual of ancient Roman religion, which may be of Etruscan origin. Kamilla/Kamila are similar names. Hypocorisms of the name include Milly, Millie, and Milla. History The name Camillo is the Italian male version of Camilla. ''Camillus'' came to be used as a cognomen in Rome, and ''Camilla'' would be the feminine form of this cognomen from a period when cognomina had become hereditary clan names. The most notable bearer of this name in Roman history is Marcus Furius Camillus (c. 446 – 365 BC), who according to Livy and Plutarch, triumphed four times, was five times dictator, and was honoured with the title of "Second Founder of Rome". In the ''Aeneid'', Camilla was the name of a queen of the Volsci who was given as a servant to the goddess Diana and raised as a "warrior virgin" of the Amazon type.

''Camilla'', subtitled ''A Picture of Youth'', is a novel by Frances Burney, first published in 1796. ''Camilla'' deals with the matrimonial concerns of a group of young people: Camilla Tyrold and her sisters, the sweet tempered Lavinia and the smallpox scarred Eugenia, and their cousin, the beautiful Indiana Lynmere—and in particular, with the love affair between Camilla herself and her eligible suitor, Edgar Mandlebert. They have many hardships, however, caused by misunderstandings and mistakes, in the path of true love.
