Cammie is in Origin.

Cammie is an affectionate English diminutive of Camilla/Camille, ultimately from Latin Camillus, a Roman cognomen interpreted as “acolyte” or “attendant at a sacred ceremony.” Through this line, Cammie carries the sense of service and ritual. In some families it also shortens Cameron, which would give it the Gaelic meaning “crooked nose,” though this usage is less common.

Used as a pet form in Britain and North America since the late 1800s, Cammie has appeared at times as a standalone given name, seeing modest mid-century use and occasional revivals alongside the popularity of Camila and Camille. Related international forms include Camilla (Italian/Scandinavian), Camila (Spanish/Portuguese), Camille (French), Kamila (Polish/Czech), and Kamille (Norwegian/Danish). Nickname and spelling variants include Cami, Cammi, Cammy, Kami, and Kammie. Literary resonance comes via the Aeneid’s swift warrior maiden Camilla, which has long buoyed the name’s classical appeal.
