Kameron

KAM-run

Spelling variation of Cameron, Scottish

"crooked nose"

Kameron Origin and Meaning

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

With its on-trend K initial, this spelling variation of Cameron gives a nod to the likes of Kashton, Kayden, and Kaizen, while still maintaining the softer sounds and unisex feel of the original Scottish form. Currently in the US Top 500, it is given to around 810 boys each year.

The Kameron spelling took off in the 1980s, but the original Cameron has been used as a first name in the US at least since the 19th century, ranking among the boys' Top 1000 for nearly every year since 1880. It derives from a Scottish surname and nickname name, made up of the Gaelic elements cam and sròn meaning "crooked nose".

If you were hoping for a more geographical or nature connected 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". In this case, Cameron would be drawn from a village and a district in Fife, Scotland, of the same name.

Despite the high profile of actress Cameron Diaz, both Cameron and Kameron are used far more often for boys than for girls. Kameron leans even masculine than the original, with one girl called Kameron to every 18 boys, compared to one girl for every 8 boys with the original Cameron spelling.

Kamran is an unrelated Iranian name, a perfect cross-cultural choice popular in the UK.
