Origin: Latin

Meaning: Helper to the priest, acolyte

Kamyla is a distinctive variation of Camilla that means "helper to the priest." Steeped in ritual, Kamyla stems from the Latin word camillus, meaning "acolyte"—a young assistant in ancient Roman religious ceremonies. From humble beginnings, Camilla grew into a revered figure in history and Roman myth, including "the second father of Rome, Marcus Furius Camillus. However, young Kamyla may find the most favor in Virgil's fierce huntress Camilla, a beloved servant of the goddess Diana with a might akin to an Amazonian warrior.
