In 1969 the naming conventions for hurricanes were not strictly controlled as they are today. John Hope, a meteorologist at the National Hurricane Center named the hurricane in honor of his daughter Camille who had just graduated from high school.

they named it camille because the hurricanes of the year are named in alphabetical order. so naturally, the next letter must have been C and they picked Camille.
