Cameron
Meaning of Cameron
Cameron drifts into the world like a mountain mist over Kyoto’s Kamo River—cool, silver-hued, and quietly confident—its Scottish Gaelic roots (cam shron, “crooked nose,” once a clan hallmark as distinctive as a samurai’s mon) whispering of rugged Highland cliffs even while the name’s modern syllables, KAM-ruhn, unfurl as smoothly as silk from a Noh actor’s sleeve; thus, it bridges hemispheres, at once a centuries-old surname and a contemporary given name that has climbed American charts for decades, carried by athletes, filmmakers, and every bright-eyed child who bears it.
