Background Story

Cameron comes from the Scottish surname Cameron, derived from Gaelic cam "crooked" and sròn "nose". As a given name it is mainly used for boys, and it got a small rise in popularity for girls in the second half of the 1990s, likely because of the actress Cameron Diaz. In the United States the forms Camryn and Kamryn are now more popular than Cameron for girls. A separate origin is an anglicization of the Irish Ó Cumaráin, Ó Cumráin, meaning "descendant of Cumrán".
