Camilla The name Camilla, originates from Latin meaning attendant. It derives originally from a term designating attendants in Roman religious ceremonies. In the nineteenth century it gained its greatest fame as a result of the novel and play by Dumas, The Lady of the Camellias, which served as the basis for Verdi's opera La Traviata and, still later, for one of Greta Garbo's memorable film roles, in Camille (1936). It is a pet name and not the given name of the heroine, and the Latin root has no relation to the flower that is her symbol. The flower Camellia, was named for Georg Joseph Kamel, who first described it in the Eighteenth Century.
