Meaning
modern respelling of Cameron, traditionally "crooked nose"
The story
Kameron is Cameron with the K of intent, the same single-letter declaration Kade makes over Cade, filed in the couples' ledger with Cash and Kash, Nico and Niko. The root is Scottish, crooked nose in the clan's blunt tradition, and the respelling built a real record: about 8,200 in the 1990s, then 14,000 in the 2000s, holding nearly all of it, 13,700, through the 2010s, with 5,300 so far this decade. Cameron, the original, runs nearly eight times bigger, about 344,900 to 43,400, and keeps Cam on duty as our nickname records note. The K-census keeps growing because the letter reads as a choice: the same sound, signed differently. A clan name at the root, an American signature at the front door, and two decades of families making the same quiet edit.

The count never rose above 2 in a year, too few to chart.
Births registered in South Australia (not all of Australia) by first name and year of registration, 1944–2017, from the state’s Births, Deaths and Marriages registry, which publishes every name down to a single birth in capitals; a spelling its export repeats inside a year is counted once, and from 2018 only a top 100 is published, so the series ends at 2017.

Not on the record in Spain, Argentina, Puerto Rico, New Zealand and Poland: those registries withhold small counts, so rare uses may sit below their floors.
Not on the Chile record: nametree keeps spellings that reached 5 registrations in some year, so rarer uses are not shown. Not on the Austria record for 1984 to 2025: Statistik Austria publishes every first name down to a single birth, so this name was not given there in those years (before 2010 the record covers babies with Austrian citizenship only). Not on Norway’s list: Statistics Norway lists only first names carried by 200 or more living people, so rarer names are not shown.
