Camren

Spelling variation of Cameron, Scottish

"crooked nose"

Camren Origin and Meaning

The name Camren is a girl's name of Scottish origin meaning "crooked nose".

Traditional Cameron and modern variants Camryn and Kamryn are currently much preferred for girls (and boys) to this alternative. Given to just 12 girls in a recent year, Cameron was chosen for 600, Camryn for nearly 700, and Kamryn for over 500. This may in part be because Camren could be easily misread for Carmen.

Deriving from a Scottish surname, Cameron and its variants mean "crooked nose". This likely originated as a nickname, but if you were hoping for a different meaning, there is also the theory that the second part of the name may have come from the Gaelic abhainn meaning "river" or the Welsh bryn meaning "hill".

One notable bearer of this name is Camren Bicondova, known for playing Selina Kyle in the TV series Gotham.
