Camillio is Latin, Spanish in Origin.

Camillio is a rare, ornamental spelling of Italian Camillo, ultimately from the Latin name Camillus. In ancient Rome, a camillus was a ritually pure youth who assisted priests at sacrifices; the term’s deeper etymology is likely Etruscan and uncertain, so the name is usually interpreted as "acolyte" or "temple attendant." The name appears in classical history with figures such as the statesman Marcus Furius Camillus and later gained Christian currency through Saint Camillus de Lellis (16th-17th c.), whose nursing order spread the name across Catholic Europe.

Standard variants include Camillo (Italian), Camilo (Spanish/Portuguese), Camillus (Latin), and Camille (French, now often unisex). Related forms are Kamil (Polish and other Slavic languages), Kamill (Hungarian), and Camil (Romanian). Feminine counterparts are Camilla/Camila and Camille. Camillio, while uncommon, preserves the same classical-religious sense and offers a distinctive twist on a pan-European lineage.
