Meaning & origin
Kameelah, a variant of the Arabic Kamilah, means 'perfect, complete, or whole.' It first appeared on U.S. birth certificates in 1976, reaching its peak popularity the following year in 1977. Since 1998, its usage has steadily declined. The name is primarily chosen by families with Arabic heritage or Muslim faith, though it remains relatively uncommon, never reaching a top rank or being used in rates of 1 in N births nationally. Kameelah has not been recorded among top states, indicating its usage is scattered rather than concentrated in any particular region.
Kameelah is a variant of the Arabic name Kamilah, derived from the root k-m-l, meaning 'perfect, complete.' It is the feminine form of Kamil. Used primarily in Arabic-speaking and Muslim communities, it entered U.S. records in the 1970s, possibly influenced by broader cultural interest in Arabic names.
