Camille is the French form of a Latin name, Camillus, that may have meant an attendant at a religious ceremony. It is also the French spelling of the Lebanese Kamil. In its original French, it is pronounced [kaˈmij] and not IPA: /kəˈmɪl/ as in English. Indeed, the "ill" called the "l mouillé", is the French equivalent of the "gl", "ll" and "lh" from fellow Latin languages Italian, Spanish, Occitan and Portuguese and is pronounced "ye". It may also refer to:
- Camille, a male or female name
- Camille, the French for Camilla but not necessarily with the same meaning as the Latin. It is said to derive from Camille meaning virginal or of unblemished character
