Cambell is Scottish in Origin.
Cambell is a modern variant spelling of Campbell, a Scottish surname-turned-given name. It goes back to Scottish Gaelic Caimbeul, from cam “crooked, bent” + beul “mouth,” a descriptive byname. The surname is indelibly linked with the powerful Clan Campbell of Argyll and later the Dukes of Argyll, helping the name spread across Scotland, Ulster, and the wider diaspora. In Ulster some bearers of Campbell also reflect an unrelated anglicization of Mac Cathmhaoil, but the given name Cambell typically traces to the Gaelic Caimbeul root and carries the meaning “crooked mouth.”
As a first name, Cambell has seen late-20th- and early-21st-century use in English-speaking countries, following the fashion for surname names and appealing as a unisex choice. Common short forms include Cam and Cami. Variants and related forms: Campbell (standard), Caimbeul (Gaelic), Cambel/Camble (rare).
