What does the name Kamyla mean?
Kamyla is a spelling of Camila, pronounced the same way, so it shares Camila's meaning and origin.
Camila is the Spanish and Portuguese form of Camilla. Camilla was a Roman name; DMNES links it to Latin camilla, a girl who served as an attendant in religious rites. DMNES says the name came into use in 16th-century Italy as part of a fashion for classical names. Its recent US rise reflects Spanish-speaking families.
camilla (Latin, “young attendant at religious rites; a Roman cognomen”)
How sure is this? Probable. The Latin word camilla may itself be borrowed from Etruscan, but the sources cited here do not confirm this.
