Camelon is Scottish in Origin.

Camelon is a rare given name taken from the Scottish place-name Camelon, a district near Falkirk known for Roman-era forts. The toponym is thought to derive from Brittonic (Cumbric) elements: cam- 'bent, curved' plus a settlement/enclosure element sometimes compared to Welsh llan, yielding the sense 'settlement at the bend' - likely referencing a turn in a nearby river. Pronounced KAM-uh-lun, the name carries a cool, place-based, Celtic flavor.

As a forename, Camelon appears only in modern records and remains unisex and very uncommon, often chosen to honor Scottish roots or as a distinctive alternative to the look-alike Cameron. Contemporary short forms include Cam, Cami, and Mel. Occasional variant spellings Camalon and Camelan surface in modern use, though the place-name spelling Camelon is standard. Related names by theme include Cameron and Camlin, but their etymologies differ.
