Where the name Camila comes from

Camila is the Spanish and Portuguese spelling of Camilla, the feminine of Camillus.

In the Aeneid, the Roman poet Virgil gives that name to Camilla, a legendary warrior maiden of the Volsci, an Italic people. English writers took the name up later, and a novel of the 18th century by Fanny Burney helped to spread it. English speakers now use both spellings.
