Names Ending in -en for Boys

Vereen

Cameron is an ultra-popular boys' name, in the US Top 100 since 1987. As a result, it has generated numerous spelling variations, including Kameron, Camron, Kamron, Kamren, and Camren. The Kamren spelling has been on and off the US Top 1000 since the 2000s, though as of 2023, it has been absent for almost a decade. Given to around 75 boys each year, Cameron, Kameron, and Kamryn are currently favored. 
 
Deriving from a Scottish surname made up of the Gaelic elements cam and sròn, Cameron and its variants mean “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".
