Camilla steps out of Virgil's Aeneid on swift feet; there she is a warrior princess so fleet she could run across a field of grain without bending a stalk. The name itself comes from the Latin camillus, a young attendant at religious rites. It carries that blend of sanctity and speed into the modern day. Queen Camilla of the United Kingdom gave it a fresh royal polish, and the spelling with a double l keeps it softer than its French cousin Camille. Three graceful syllables, steady in the American top 400. Camilla is poised, storybook, and quietly formidable.
