Boy name · 65 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Kamil: 65 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 6 births in 2012.

Kamil is a name with two distinct origins. In Arabic, it comes from *kāmil*, meaning “perfect” or “complete,” a quality often invoked in Islamic tradition. It also serves as the Polish, Czech, and Slovak form of the Roman name Camillus, which originally meant “attendant” or “acolyte.” Notable bearers include Polish ski jumper Kamil Stoch, a three-time Olympic gold medalist, and footballer Kamil Glik, who captained Poland’s national team. The name has no strong place associations, but it shares roots with the Turkish variant Kamel. In Scotland, Kamil has been given to boys since the 1990s, reflecting the country’s growing cultural diversity and the name’s appeal across linguistic boundaries.
