Camryn

Spelling variation of Cameron, Scottish

"crooked nose"

Camryn Origin and Meaning

The name Camryn is a boy's name meaning "crooked nose".

Cameron is starting to fall slightly since its peak in the early 2000s, but is still comfortably in the Top 100. The Camryn spelling has historically been more popular on the girls' side, though it did rank briefly for boys in the late 2000s.

Deriving from a Scottish surname made up of the Gaelic elements cam and sròn, Cameron (and therefore Camryn) means "crooked nose". This likely originated as a nickname, but if you were hoping for a different meaning, there is also the theory that the second part of the name may have come from the Gaelic abhainn meaning "river" or the Welsh bryn meaning "hill".

Given to around 75 boys in a recent year, this variation is used 8 times more often on girls, while Cameron, Kameron, Kamron, Kamren, Camren, and Camron all lean more masculine.
