Camp Origin and Meaning

The name Camp is a boy's name meaning "a place of temporary accommodation; deliberately theatrical and exaggerated".

The word name Camp fits into the trendy, woodsy category for boys, where it joins Arrow, Trail, Venture, and Timber. While it was given to only 17 boys in a recent year, it has been quietly gaining more attention since the late 2010s.

Conjuring up imagery of summer adventures, campfires, and the great outdoors, it fits in with the more popular Ridge, Briggs, and Forrest. Alternatively, it brings to mind bright colors, bold, clashing patterns, sparkles, over-the-top looks, and the 2019 Met Gala.
