Meaning & origin
Cammi entered U.S. birth records in 1958, but its use was rare until the late 20th century. The name saw its highest usage in 1998, likely influenced by the popularity of hockey player Cammi Granato. Since 1999, its frequency has been falling, reflecting a shift away from similar-sounding names. While no top states are recorded, Cammi remains a distinctive variant of Cameron or Kami, appealing to parents seeking a modern, informal sound.
Cammi likely originated as a nickname or respelling of Cameron, a Scottish surname meaning 'crooked nose' from Gaelic 'cam sròn'. It also shares phonetic similarity with Kami, a variant of Camille. The name appears in U.S. records from the mid-20th century, gaining modest popularity in the 1990s.
