Primarily a girl's name · 100% girls
In Pythagorean numerology, every letter has a value from 1 to 9. Adding the letters of Camila yields these three numbers — a playful read on the name's character.
Camila has held essentially the same rank, #11, since its 2020 peak — 8,164 births that year against 7,608 in 2024, a modest pullback in count but no real change in position, unlike several names in this batch whose rank has already dropped several places from its high point.
The name entered SSA records in 1914 and has grown 46% over the past decade, a steady climb rather than a sudden spike, with no gaps in its decades-active history since.
Its famous-bearer list is heavily contemporary and entertainment-driven — singer Camila Cabello, actor Camila Mendes, model Camila Morrone — almost entirely people born in the 1990s, a narrower generational cluster than names like Elias or John whose namesakes span centuries.
