Camille (given Name)
Camille is a unisex name. History The form ''Camille'' was later associated with the heroine of Dumas' ''The Lady of the Camellias'' (1848), which served as the basis for Verdi's opera ''La Traviata'' and several films. In Dumas' novel, ''Camille'' is not the given name of the heroine; this name was applied to her in derived works in the English-speaking world, presumably because of the similarity in sound to the floral name ''Camellia'' (which was coined by Linnaeus (1753) after the name of the Czech Jesuit missionary Georg Joseph Kamel). The name ''Camille'' was given to the heroine as early as in a silent film of 1915, but it became widely known (and led to the increased popularity of the given name in the United States) with Greta Garbo's '' Camille'' of 1936.
