Cameron
Cameron Origin and Meaning
Camerson was once a rising star for boys only, but Cameron Diaz almost single-handedly transported it into the unisex camp.
Deriving from a Scottish surname meaning “crooked nose”, Cameron is a sweet but sophisticated choice with a hint of showbusiness flair, and a touch of rough-and-tumble.
As Cameron Diaz’s career took off in the 90’s, Cameron too saw a rise in popularity as a choice for girls. Peaking in 1999, when it was given to nearly 2000 girls, Cameron has recently fallen back down the charts.
Nevertheless, it is still selected for 600 girls every year, and with the spelling variations of Camryn and Kamryn also featuring in the US charts, it continues to feel like a Top 200 name, ranking alongside Mackenzie, River, or Summer.
Surprisingly popular, given its meaning, Cameron comes with the built in nicknames, “Cam” and “Cammie” which bring something gentler to the name.
Looking for something similar but less associated with one celeb? Camden, Cadence, Saffron, Keelin, or Bellamy might inspire you.
