Carmentis is Latin in Origin.

Carmentis is a rare feminine name from classical Latin, borne by the Roman goddess of childbirth and prophecy, also known as Carmenta. The name is tied to Latin carmen, meaning “song, poem, oracle,” giving Carmentis the sense of “prophetic song” or “she who chants oracles.” In literary tradition she is the mother of the Arcadian hero Evander, and her cult was honored at the Carmentalia in January; her twin aspects Porrima and Postverta were thought to reveal the future and the past.

As a given name, Carmentis has seen little use outside scholarly and neo-classical circles, with sporadic modern revivals from the 19th century onward. Variants include Carmenta (Latin/Italian) and the related cognates Carmen, Carmina, Carme, and Karmen, which share the same root but a different history of use. The name offers a mythic, learned aura grounded in Roman tradition.
