Meaning & origin
Kamron, a phonetic variant of Cameron, first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1967. It reached its peak popularity in 2005, ranking 2,077 by 2025, with 1 in every 24,057 boys receiving the name. The name has been in decline since 2005, reflecting a broader trend away from Cameron variants. Its strongest associations are in the southern states, notably Mississippi, Tennessee, and North Carolina. Kamron adheres to the modern preference for distinctive spellings while retaining a familiar sound.
Kamron is a modern American variant spelling of the Scottish surname Cameron. The Cameron clan name is derived from the Gaelic 'cam sròn', meaning 'crooked nose', likely a nickname for a clan chief with that feature. The surname was established in Scotland by the 13th century and later spread as a given name, especially in the United States from the 20th century onward.
