Camilo is the Spanish and Portuguese form of Camillus, an ancient Roman name of uncertain, possibly Etruscan origin; in Rome a camillus was a boy who served at religious ceremonies, so it is usually glossed as "attendant at the temple" or "young helper". The Colombian singer Camilo has made the name familiar to a new generation. In the United States Camilo has been in the top 1000 since 2011, peaked at number 451 in 2022 and ranks number 585 in 2025.
