Camron is Scottish in Origin.
Camron is a modern English given name, a streamlined variant of Cameron, which began as a Scottish surname. Cameron comes from Scottish Gaelic cam "bent, crooked" + sron "nose, promontory," likely a nickname for someone with a distinctive profile or dwelling near a nose-shaped headland. Through the renown of Clan Cameron in the Highlands, the surname became widespread and, by the 19th and 20th centuries, crossed into first-name use across the English-speaking world for boys and, increasingly, girls.
As a respelling, Camron is less common than Cameron but aligns with phonetic trends in American naming. Related forms include Kameron and Kamron, Camren, and the more feminine-leaning Camryn/Cameryn; Cam is a familiar short form. Usage rose notably in North America in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The name's core meaning is "crooked nose" or, by extension, "bent ridge."
