Cami is a modern girl's name of French and Scottish origin. A common nickname for the French names Camilla and Camile, it means “young ceremonial attendant,” which came about as an occupation name for someone who would help the priest during a religious service. This is a great and fashionable choice to give baby an air of coolness while also connecting them to their faith. According to its Scottish roots, Cami derives from the Cameron. Broken down, Cameron is a combination of the words cam and sròn, meaning "crooked nose." Between famous stereotypes of noble Roman noses curving like an eagle and artist’s-dream Greek noses shaped like a robust bridge, baby's adorable nose can be a reminder of their power and uniqueness. With a name like Cami, baby can be proud of every flawless feature.
