Complete or perfect in Arabic; the older Camillus-family meaning is uncertain.
The Arabic gloss is independently checked. A separate European route comes through Latin Camillus; the specialist’s ritual-helper interpretation is traditional, while the dictionary leaves the older root uncertain.

Same-spelled personal names have different histories. The Arabic perfect/complete account is not assigned to the Latin-derived European forms.

Official US university English-language guide for the exact first name. Other bearers may prefer another reading. Boston University first-name guide.
Recorded English reading, as published. Accents and preferred pronunciations can differ.
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.
| Place | Year | Recorded usage | Published births | Rank | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Canada | 2025 | Boys | 15 · preliminary | 1500 | 2025 figures are preliminary. Quebec counts below five are randomly imputed by the publisher before national aggregation. Accents are removed in the source; this profile was matched only where the catalog spelling was unambiguous. Unpublished values are unknown, not zero. Rank basis: source published. |
| France | 2025 | Boys | 280 (rounded to 5) | 191 | Counts are rounded to the nearest multiple of five. Ranks use unrounded publisher counts with randomly ordered ties; equally rounded counts can have different ranks. National coverage excludes Mayotte before 2012. Missing years are unavailable, not zero. Automated direction labels are withheld for this rounded-count series. Rank basis: source published. |
| England & Wales | 2025 | Boys | 30 | 1007 | Source-reported counts; unpublished names are not zero. Rank basis: source published. |
| Northern Ireland | 2013 | Boys | 7 | 244 | Source-reported counts; unpublished names are not zero. Rank basis: source published. |
| Scotland | 2022 | Boys | 3 | 703 | Source-reported counts; unpublished names are not zero. Rank basis: source published. |
| Ireland | 2021 | Boys | 3 | 755 | Names below three occurrences are unpublished. Accent recording changed in 2018; comparisons across that boundary may not describe the same spelling coverage. Counts refer to registrations in the year. Missing years are unavailable, not zero. Rank basis: source published. |
| United States | 2025 | Girls | 8 | 10917 | Source-reported counts; unpublished names are not zero. Rank basis: calculated from published counts. |
| United States | 2025 | Boys | 32 | 3513 | Source-reported counts; unpublished names are not zero. Rank basis: calculated from published counts. |
