Boy name · 7 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Camron: 7 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 4 births in 2006.
Camron is a modern spelling variant of Cameron, a Scottish name rooted in the Gaelic *cam sròn* meaning “crooked nose.” This nickname-turned-surname-turned-first-name originally described a distinguishing physical feature. Famous bearers include NFL quarterback Cam Newton, whose explosive athleticism echoed the name’s assertive sound, and actor Camron Scott, known for his role in *The Walking Dead*. The Cameron clan, one of Scotland’s most storied Highland families, gave their name to Loch Cameron and the Cameron Highlands in Malaysia, though the latter was named for a colonial surveyor, not directly the clan. A notably gendered shift, Cameron has become increasingly popular for girls in recent decades, but the Camron spelling remains overwhelmingly masculine.
