Kamryn

As a Top 600 name for girls for more than 20 years, Kamryn has become a widely-accepted version of the original Cameron. It also ranks just below the Top 1000 for boys too, though it is used three times more often on girls.

Deriving from a Scottish surname made up of the Gaelic elements cam and sròn, Cameron means "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".

Given to 590 girls in a recent year, Kamryn is currently slightly less popular than classic Cameron and similar alternative Camryn.

Dancers Kamryn Beck and Kamryn Smith, YouTuber Kamryn Renae, and crochet-Instagrammer Kamryn Cain are bearers of the name.

Pronounced KAM-rin.

As of October 2026, Kamryn ranked #556 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #269 in 2008.
