Meaning

Camellia flower (documented Italian naming account)

The exact Italian personal-name article describes Camelia as an Italian feminine name inspired by the camellia flower and lists Camellia as an English form. It cites printed personal-name dictionaries for its Italian flower-name account.

Romanian and other naming histories need their own evidence.
