Kambel is in Origin.

Kambel is a modern respelling of Campbell, a Scottish surname turned given name. The surname derives from Gaelic Caimbeul, from cam “bent, crooked” + beul “mouth,” a descriptive nickname - often glossed as “crooked mouth” or “wry-lipped.” Through Clan Campbell of Argyll, the name became one of Scotland’s most prominent family names; the K-initial in Kambel reflects contemporary phonetic or stylistic preference rather than a different etymology, and avoids the common but incorrect reading of “camp + bell.”

Used as a first name chiefly in North America and the UK since the late 20th century, Kambel follows the trend of adopting surnames as unisex given names. Variants and related forms include Campbell, Cambell, Cambel (a medieval spelling), and the Gaelic Caimbeul; embellished modern spellings such as Kambell also appear. Nicknames include Cam and Bell/Bel. The name carries an old-world Scottish heritage wrapped in a sleek, updated silhouette.
