Cammy

Boy name · 19 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Cammy: 19 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 8 births in 2025.

A Scottish diminutive of Cameron, Cammy inherits its meaning from the Gaelic root cam, meaning “crooked” or “bent”—a reference to a distinctive nose or a winding river. The name has been carried by several modern Scottish footballers, including goalkeeper Cammy Bell and midfielder Cammy Smith, giving it a sporty, approachable feel. While there are no major places named directly after a Cammy, the parent name Cameron appears in countless Scottish place names and surnames. Beyond the pitch, Cammy is also familiar to gamers as Cammy White, a fierce kickboxer from the Street Fighter series. This upbeat, friendly name feels both casual and enduring, making it a popular choice for a son in Scotland.
