Cameron is a Scottish surname and thus somewhat common throughout the English-speaking world.

There are several possible origins. One is from a Gaelic-language nickname, derived from cam ("crooked", "bent") and sròn or abhainn ("nose", "river"). Another is from any of the various places called Cameron, especially such places located in Fife, Edinburgh or Lennox, Scotland. The English-language surname can be rendered into Scottish Gaelic as: Camarran (masculine), Chamarran (feminine); or as Camshron (masculine) and Chamshron (feminine).
