Camron

Origin

Camron is a variant of the name Cameron, which originates from the Scottish Gaelic language. The original Gaelic form is 'Camshron', composed of 'cam' meaning 'crooked' or 'bent', and 'sròn' meaning 'nose'. Historically, it was an identifying surname for Scottish clans and was documented in medieval Scottish texts. The name was adopted as a given name over time, especially in English-speaking countries, including Australia.

Meaning

Literal translation is 'crooked nose'. In Australian English contexts, it retains the original Scottish meaning but is often associated with qualities such as strength, individuality, and resilience due to its strong Scottish heritage and its contemporary usage as a masculine given name.
