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.[1] The English-language surname can be rendered into Scottish Gaelic as: Camarran[2] (masculine), Chamarran (feminine); or as Camshron[3] (masculine) and Chamshron (feminine).[citation needed]

In the Scottish Lowlands the surname indicates that the original bearer lived in either Cameron near Edinburgh, Cameron in Lennox, or Cameron in Fife. Thus, the name in the Lowlands is of territorial origin, from one of the three places mentioned.[1] [2]
