Kamil is a Polish, Czech, and Slovak given name, equivalent to the Italian Camillo, Spanish Camilo and French Camille, deriving from Camillus,[1] a Roman family name, which is sometimes claimed to mean "attendant at a religious service" in Latin, but may actually be of unknown Etruscan origin. The female version is Kamila, equivalent to English Camilla.
Kamil is also an Arabic name, more usually transliterated as Kamel, which can be translated as "Perfect" or "the Perfect One". It is also a Turkish name, with the female version of Kamile, which were common during Ottoman Empire and not as common in Turkey today.
