Ancient root and name story

Origin: Scottish, from the surname Cameron. Meaning: in its Highland explanation the name comes from Gaelic cam, 'crooked', and sron, 'nose', originally a descriptive nickname. A separate Lowland route treats Cameron as a habitational surname from places called Cameron, notably in Fife.

The surname carries real clan history: Clan Cameron has been settled in Lochaber since the fifteenth century or earlier, and a bearer recorded as Donal Cam Shron Dhu appears in 1411. These records anchor the name's Scottish surname tradition rather than mark the first time it was used as a first name.

As a given name, Cameron moved from surname to modern first name and is now used widely for boys and, increasingly, for girls. It keeps a distinctly Scottish flavour while sounding thoroughly at home in contemporary English-speaking countries.
