Camp is English in Origin.
Camp is a transferred English surname used as a given name. The surname comes from Old French camp "field, encampment" (ultimately Latin campus "open plain"), denoting someone who lived by a field or military ground. Parallel roots exist in Dutch and Low German Kamp "enclosed field," and in Romance forms like Campo/Campos. Variants and related surnames include Campe, Kamp, Campo, Campos, Van Camp, and DeCamp; as a given name it often shortens to Cam and intersects with Campbell or Camden.
As a first name it appears sporadically in English-speaking countries, particularly the United States, following the 19th-20th-century fashion for surname names and family honorifics. Usage skews masculine but is technically unisex. The core meaning, "field; open plain; encampment," lends associations of openness, resourcefulness, and camaraderie - fitting its crisp, outdoorsy sound.
