When my daughter- in- law announced that her child would have an Irish name, I looked on a website for Irish baby names and sent her about 12 names of each gender. Cammy was listed in the female list. She now wants the meaning of it, and I can't find it anywhere...Anyone help?

Cammy is a pet form of "Camilla", which in turn is a female version of "Camillus". "Camilla" was the name of a legendary warrior maiden of the Volscians, as told by Virgil in the 'Aeneid'. "Camillus" is a Roman family name, which is sometimes claimed to mean "attendant at a religious service" in Latin, but may actually be of unknown Etruscan origin.

CAMERON: Old English for "bent nose." Don't be put off by its orginal meaning; this is a beautiful name. Relatives: Camm, Cam, Cammie, Camyron. Namesakes: Cameron Mitchell, John Cameron Swayze, Richard Cameron.

Could be a form of Cammie: short for Camilla
comes from a word for key

Cammy is not Irish and Cameron is Scottish.
Camilla is also not Irish but English.

It is short for Cameron. The name itself sadly means "bent nose" in gaelic.
