      American and British place-name, Scottish
    • Meaning:

      "winding valley"
    • Description:

      Camden is a surprise hit, probably as a result of some star baby cred: it has been chosen by no less than four celebrity parents since 2012. Gentle but not flimsy, Camden could be an updated spin on Cameron, Callum, or Caden.
  4. Cruz

      Spanish
    • Meaning:

      "cross"

Other parents may prize its Christian associations.
