Meaning & origin

Kamilia is a relatively rare name in the United States, first recorded in 1982 and reaching its peak rank of 13,208 in 2020. Since 2021, its usage has been falling, with about 1 in 267,878 girls receiving the name in 2025. Its dual possible origins give it cross-cultural appeal. As a variant of Camilla (Latin) or a feminine form of Kamil (Arabic), it offers flexibility for families with diverse backgrounds. Though not in the top tiers of popularity, its steady if declining presence suggests a lasting niche appeal.

Kamilia likely arose as a cross-cultural adaptation. It can be seen as a variant of Camilla, a Latin name derived from the word 'camillus' referring to a young acolyte in Roman religious rites. Alternatively, it may be a feminine form of the Arabic name Kamil, meaning 'perfect' or 'complete'. The spelling with a K is common in Arabic-influenced naming traditions. In the United States, Kamilia has been in use since at least 1982, with a peak in popularity in 2020.
