Meaning and origin of Kamil
Kamil is an Arabic and Polish name that means “perfect, complete”.
Kamil has two separate roots. In Arabic it means perfect or complete, and al-Kamil was used as a royal title by medieval rulers. In Polish and Czech, Kamil is a boys' name derived from the Latin Camillus, a Roman family name of uncertain meaning that is sometimes connected with young religious attendants. It is said kah-MEEL in Arabic and KAH-meel in Polish. The name is used mainly for boys, with Kamila as the usual feminine form. Related names include Camille, Camilo and Kamal.
