Perfect or complete in Arabic; camellia in Hawaiian; older meaning uncertain in the Camilla-family route.
The Hawaiian entry explicitly connects this personal name to the flower word. The Arabic and European accounts are separate; a traditional Latin-family ritual-helper gloss does not settle the older root.
Arabic, European Camilla-family and Hawaiian naming traditions.
The exact entries establish distinct personal-name routes. A Finnish farm-name surname and Polish/Czech inflected forms are not treated as additional given-name origins.

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 | Girls | 28 · preliminary | 966 | 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 Unpublished values are unknown, not zero.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 | Girls | 215 (rounded to 5) | 255 | 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 | Girls | 14 | 2006 | Published ranks differ from ranks calculated over visible rows. Counts retained; automated trend labels withheld. Rank basis: source published. |
| Scotland | 2024 | Girls | 3 | 790 | Source-reported counts; unpublished names are not zero. Rank basis: source published. |
| Ireland | 2022 | Girls | 6 | 559 | Names below three occurrences are unpublished.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| United States | 2025 | Girls | 851 | 355 | Source-reported counts; unpublished names are not zero. Rank basis: calculated from published counts. |
