What is the meaning of the name Kamer ?

The baby name Kamer is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced KA-mer (English approx. /ˈkɑmər/; Turkish [kaˈmer]).

Kamer is Turkish in Origin.

Kamer is a Turkish given name of Arabic origin, from Qamar (قمر), meaning “moon.” In Ottoman Turkish literature, kamer evoked luminous beauty and was a common poetic epithet, and the lunar calendar of the Islamic world reinforces its celestial associations. Documented in Ottoman-era registers and divan poetry, the name remains in steady, if modest, use in modern Turkey. It is given to both boys and girls and is appreciated for its serene, radiant imagery.

Variants and cognates include Arabic Qamar and Kamar, and the Turkish spelling Kamer. In English-speaking contexts, Kamer also appears as a modern respelling of Cameron/Kameron, though that lineage derives from Scottish Gaelic cam sròn (“crooked nose”). The Dutch or German surname Kamer (“room”) is etymologically unrelated. Pronunciations vary: Turkish KAH-mehr; Arabic qa-MAR; English KAY-mer or KAM-er.
