Cambeul is Scottish Gaelic in Origin.

Cambeul is a modern given name with Scottish Gaelic roots, adapted from the surname Campbell. It derives from the Gaelic Caimbeul, built from cam (bent, crooked) and beul (mouth), a descriptive epithet that likely began as a nickname. The spelling Cambeul mirrors the Gaelic elements more closely than Campbell and appears in contemporary use as a distinctive, surname-style first name.

Its historical backdrop is the powerful Clan Campbell of Argyll, prominent in medieval Scotland and later across the diaspora. As a given name, Cambeul/Campbell has risen in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries in English-speaking countries and is commonly unisex. Variants and related forms include Campbell (English), Caimbeul (Scottish Gaelic), and Cambell (alternative spelling). Short forms and nicknames include Cam, Bell, and Belle. The core meaning is often rendered as wry or crooked mouth.
