Meaning & origin
Cambre is a modern, rare feminine name that first entered U.S. birth records in 1994. Its origin is uncertain, though it may derive from Cambria, the Latin name for Wales. The name reached its peak popularity in 2014 but has been declining since 2015. Because it does not appear on the top 1000 rankings, its one-in-N rarity cannot be calculated, and no states have recorded significant usage. Cambre remains a distinctive choice for parents seeking a contemporary-sounding name with a soft, melodic quality.
Cambre first appeared in U.S. records in the mid-1990s and may be a respelling of Cambria, the medieval Latin name for Wales, or an invented name blending Cam- with -bre. It remains rare, with usage peaking in 2014. As a modern coinage, it does not have established historical roots.
