Kameron

Boy name · 22 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Kameron: 22 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 4 births in 2008.

Kameron is a modern spelling variant of the classic Scottish surname and given name Cameron, which originates from the Gaelic *cam sròn*, meaning “crooked nose.” This nickname-turned-clan name likely referred to a distinctive physical feature of an early chief. Famous bearers include actress Cameron Diaz, known for her roles in *There’s Something About Mary* and *Charlie’s Angels*, and filmmaker Cameron Crowe, who wrote and directed *Jerry Maguire*. The place name Cameron appears across Scotland, for example in Fife and near Glasgow, and also in the US state of Texas. While the traditional spelling Cameron remains far more common in Scotland, Kameron adds a slight contemporary twist, favoured by parents seeking a familiar yet distinctive choice.
