Kameron

KAM-run

Spelling variation of Cameron, Scottish

"crooked nose"

Kameron Origin and Meaning

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

This spelling variation of Cameron was briefly popular for girls back in the late 90s, however, it has since fallen out of favor. While it appears in the Top 1000 for boys in the US, Cameron, Camryn, or Kamryn are preferred for girls.

Originally deriving from a Scottish surname and nickname name, Kameron is 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 more than 800 boys receiving the name in 2023, compared to around 50 girls.
