Meaning and background
The story behind Cammie
Cammie is documented as an English diminutive of Camilla, with the reading /ˈkæm.i/. Camilla in turn belongs to the Camillus family and has a literary association with the warrior maiden in Virgil’s Aeneid. Those are linked stages of name history, not evidence that Cammie literally means warrior. For a dog, the shortened form keeps a connection with Camilla while changing the rhythm and emphasis substantially. Its doubled m and ie ending also distinguish the chosen spelling from other short forms that may sound similar in conversation.
