Carmiela is Hebrew in Origin.

Carmiela is a modern feminine given name with Hebrew roots. It blends Carmel/Karmel, the biblical toponym and noun meaning “vineyard, orchard; garden-land,” with the theophoric -el as seen in Karmiel, a form glossed “God’s vineyard.” Accordingly, Carmiela is interpreted as “God’s vineyard” or more broadly “fruitful garden,” evoking abundance and protection.

Usage spans Jewish and Christian traditions through the prominence of Mount Carmel. Marian devotion to Our Lady of Mount Carmel fostered related forms such as Carmela and Carmella in Italian and Spanish. In Israel, Carmiela has seen modest late-20th-century adoption, sometimes inspired by the Galilean city Karmiel (founded 1964). The name remains rare in English-speaking countries. Variants and close relatives include Karmiela, Carmiella, Carmela, Carmella, Carmel, Karmel, Carmelina, and Carmelita; Carmiel serves as a masculine counterpart. Nicknames and short forms include Carmi, Miela, Mila, and Cami.
