Early Middle Ages (6th century)
The 13th-century Italian poet Dante Alighieri, in his Divine Comedy, mentions a character named Camilla, who is a warrior maiden and a Christian saint. It's believed that Dante may have intended this Camilla to be a reference to Saint Camillus of Jericho, who is also known as Camellus, due to the similarity in their names.
