Kamelia
Meaning of Kamelia
Kamelia is a feminine name rooted in both Latin and Persian traditions, deriving from the camellia flower—named for the Czech botanist Georg Kamel—and the Persian word “kamel,” meaning perfect, thus uniting botanical elegance with a nuance of completeness. Pronounced kuh-MEE-lee-uh (/kəˈmi.li.ə/), it has seen modest use in the United States, hovering near the 900th rank with roughly a dozen newborn bearers each year—rare enough to prompt a double take at roll call, yet common enough to avoid an impromptu pronunciation lesson. In Persian contexts, often rendered as کاملیا, Kamelia carries a poetic resonance, evoking an “exotic blossom” motif celebrated in classical verse. Its steady, understated presence and cross-cultural depth will appeal to parents seeking a name that balances distinctiveness with refined simplicity.
