About Kamran
While Kamran is a common boys' name in Iran and Turkey, among other countries, if used in the US it will more likely be a respelling of Cameron, a unisex name which sounds exactly the same as Kamran. Due to cultural misunderstandings, we'd advise using the Kamran spelling only if you mean to select the Persian or Urdu boys' name, not as a "creative" form of Cameron for either gender.
Pronounced kahm-RAHN.
As of October 2026, Kamran ranked #18375 in US births in 2010 SSA, peaked at #16234 in 2000.
