Camille
Girl name · 109 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Camille: 109 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 7 births in 2021.
Camille, a name with both French and Latin roots, ultimately derives from the Roman family name Camillus, which signified a young acolyte or attendant in religious ceremonies. Its most celebrated bearer is the French artist Camille Claudel, a brilliant sculptor whose work was long overshadowed by her tumultuous relationship with Auguste Rodin. The Camellia flower, named after the Jesuit botanist Georg Kamel, shares this melodic root, while the name also carries a chic, timeless elegance through its association with the French fashion designer Camille Miceli. Though more commonly given to girls in Scotland, Camille is a distinguished unisex name in French-speaking countries, and its Scottish variant, Camilla, enjoyed renewed popularity after the marriage of King Charles III.
