Meaning & origin
Khamil entered U.S. baby name records in 2005, making it a relatively recent arrival. Its peak usage came in 2011, and since then its popularity has remained stable, with annual counts too small to register a rank. The name is used for both boys and girls, leaning slightly masculine. Its top states are not well-established due to low overall frequency, but it has been recorded across the country.
