What does Camila mean?

The Spanish form of Camilla, feminine of the Latin Camillus, a title for a young attendant who served at religious ceremonies in ancient Rome. In Virgil's Aeneid, Camilla is a swift warrior maiden of the Volsci.

What does Mía mean?

Primarily a short, affectionate form of María (ultimately from the Hebrew Miriam, meaning uncertain). Its popularity in the Hispanic world is reinforced by coincidence with the Spanish possessive mía 'mine' (also the Italian word 'mine'), though that resemblance is not the name's actual origin.
