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.

Kamran is one of the most easily-translated boys' names from a Middle Eastern to a Western culture, sounding nearly identical to the stylish English name Cameron. While it is not an Islamic name, Muslims are allowed to use it because its meaning is felicitous.
Kamran is widely used as a boys' name in Iran, Turkey, and Pakistan. In the US, it's more likely to be a respelling of the unisex Cameron, which is a totally different name.
Pronounced kahm-RAHN.
