Deeper root meaning uncertain, in the Camilla/Camillus name-family account.
Spanish and Portuguese Camila are explicitly connected with Camilla. The reviewed Camilla entry traces the name through Latin Camillus but describes its deeper origin as obscure and probably non-Latin. The older licensed free-born, noble and attendant glosses are not established by this evidence.
Latin Camilla-related tradition, with a deeper root of uncertain origin.
The Spanish and Portuguese name sections record Latin ancestry and an explicit Camilla equivalence. This explains transmission without treating Latin as a settled earliest root.

Counts apply only to the exact spelling, place, year and recorded usage shown. Places are separate; these figures are never added into a worldwide total. Missing or suppressed records never mean zero.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Canada | 2025 | Girls | 147 · preliminary | 207 | 2025 figures are preliminary. Quebec counts below five are randomly imputed by the publisher before national aggregation.

| France | 2025 | Girls | 165 (rounded to 5) | 331 | Counts are rounded to the nearest multiple of five.
