Kamran Origin and Meaning

The name Kamran is a boy's name meaning "prosperous or successful".

Kamran is one of the most easily-translated boys' names from a Middle Eastern to a Western culture, sounding nearly identical to the stylish English name Cameron. While it is not an Islamic name, Muslims are allowed to use it because its meaning is felicitous.

Kamran is widely used as a boys' name in Iran, Turkey, and Pakistan. In the US, it's more likely to be a respelling of the unisex Cameron, which is a totally different name.
