modern respelling of Camryn/Cameron feminized
The story
Kamryn is the K-signature laid over Camryn, the same deliberate letter Kade sets over Cade and Kameron over Cameron, and the couple's arithmetic is close: Camryn about 35,700, Kamryn about 30,200, rising and settling together on the same clock. Kamryn is also the more shared of the pair: about 24,800 girls to 5,400 boys, nearly one boy in six, where Camryn runs about one in eight. The record: about 2,100 in the 1990s, 12,100 in the 2000s, 11,100 holding through the 2010s, and 4,800 so far this decade. The K-census our records keep now counts this one twice over, K on the front and the clan in the middle. One sound, four spellings across two generations, and the ledger charting every one of them separately: families vote letter by letter.

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, Mexico City, Argentina, Puerto Rico, Ireland, 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 Montevideo record for 1940 to 2011: that registry withholds nothing, so this spelling was not given there in those years. Not on the France record: nametree keeps spellings that reached 20 births 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.
