Cameryn is a respelled variant of the Scottish surname Cameron, which derives from the Gaelic elements cam (crooked, bent) and sròn (nose), thus 'crooked nose'. The surname originated as a nickname for someone with a distinctive nose. As a given name, Cameron was first used for boys in the 19th century and saw a rise in popularity in the 1990s for girls, but the variant Cameryn emerged as a unisex name in the late 1980s.
