Cambell Origin and Meaning

The name Cambell is a boy's name.

Cambell is a masculine name derived from the Scottish surname Campbell, which originated from the Gaelic phrase 'cam beul,' meaning 'crooked mouth' or 'wry-mouthed.' This variant spelling drops one 'p' from the more common Campbell. As a first name, Cambell has remained relatively uncommon but offers an appealing alternative to the more popular Cameron or Campbell given names. It carries aristocratic associations due to the prominent Campbell clan of Scotland. The name conveys strength and dignity while maintaining Scottish heritage connections. While never reaching widespread popularity, Cambell appeals to parents seeking a distinguished-sounding name with Celtic roots that remains relatively distinctive.
