Scottish Names that Start With C

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.

Camren

Both Caitriona and Catriona are commonly heard in Scotland and Ireland. The name was brought to Ireland by the Anglo-Normans, and is the source of nicknames Cait, Caitin, Caitlin and Triona. Actress Caitrona Balfe has gained recognition for her role on Outlander. Pronunciation is like Katrina.

Caitriona

In Scotland, a cairn is a heap of stones placed as a memorial or to support a beacon. This gives the name a rugged, timeless quality that is very appealing at present.
