Camden is the transferred use of an English surname that was derived from a place name. The original settlement, Campedene, was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 and is situated in Gloucestershire, England. The name comes from the Old English word “camp-menu” from the Latin “campus” ('field, enclosure') and “denu” ('valley'). Therefore, the location meant a valley with campsites. Camden's name is a modern development following the popular trend of using surnames as given names, particularly distinct from the United States.

Master Number Twenty-Two combines the traits of two-year-olds and Fours into one powerful force. References to the Master Builder and "big business" serve to underline the enormous potential of this personality. Twenty-one-two-year-olds are fearless leaders, innovative thinkers, extremely prudent, and highly organized. As such, they are capable of manifesting something of the greatest importance that will have a lasting impact on this world. Master Numbers carry with them a great sense of responsibility, so they can be a burden. However, Twenty Twos are action-takers and takers. Also, this personality exhibits traits of the Twos, which brings sensitivity, spirituality, and harmony.
Popularity
The Camden name first appeared on the US popularity charts in 1990 and has gained a lot of ground over the last 20 years, rising more than 800 positions on the list of the most commonly used boys' names. The Kamden spelling variation debuted on the road charts in 2004, but its sibling in popularity. Camden is a very popular name in New Hampshire and Maine, where it is a Top 70 favorite among boys. It is also a Top 100 in Nebraska and Kansas. We wonder if he made the Top 100 in Maryland, the home of Camden Yards (where the Baltimore Orioles play), but he doesn't. They also like the use of last names as given names. Given these two trends, it's no wonder Camden has shown recent chart success. How long it can sustain that is yet to be determined.

It's rather ironic. My last name is Camden. Growing up, I never heard it unless it was associated with a relative. Now, It'seems to be a very popular first name. It's still rather unique, and I'm sure all of you who named your children Camden, will enjoy the uniqueness.
We named our son Camden in 2019. It was the first name we thought of for a boy and we absolutely love it! We had never met anyone with the name. Since his birth I have heard of a handful of other Camden's in'the New England area.
We are naming our first born son Garrett Michael. Garrett is the maiden name of my husband's grandmother :o)

my sons name is Camdin and before we knew what he was we decided on Camdin for a boy and Kamdin for a girl. I fell in love with the name. I knew there was no other name for my first child.
I named my son Camdyn in 2018. It'suits him perfectly and everyone seems to love it. He'll also have the benefit of never being in a class with 3 othe's with the'same name!

We named our son Camden in 2017. I grew up in PA, so when I told my family what we were naming my son, my dad and brother weren't so supportive b/c of the association with Camden, NJ. Well, he was born in'tX so nobody there really knows about Camden, NJ (same with where we live now...WI)! Once the kid is around a while, you start associating the name with them and n't other negative conn'tations you might have for it. i've had MANY positive compliments on'the name and I still LOVE it!
I actually named my daughter Camden Elizabeth.We have been calling her Cammy.....

Camden is my maiden name and it is the only name for my first born son! We cann't wait until his arrival in March!
We named our son, Jaxon. I loved how Jackson sounded. My husband wanted to make sure the nickname was Jax. Also, his middle name is Lawrence after my late father'so I didn't want to give him three last names. I do love how Jaxon Lawrence sounds and reads but everyone spells it like Jaxson and it does bother me. I will need to live with it but didn't know it would bother me so much. He does seem like a Jaxon to me.
This is my son's name..& I LOVE IT!! I know when some people ask what his name is they think It's a girl name! Which I don't think it is..but It'seems like all the boy name's are turning into girl name's. I love my BROOKS!!
Love the name! We are going to name our son Camden when he is born in Dec!
We named our son Cameron (now 17) and are very happy we did. I am Canadian by birth and it is n't an unusual boy's name there. I never knew it to be a girl's name until Cameron Diaz and still think that a bit odd. To me, It's a totally masculine name. I did, after all, get it from Cam Neely (all Canadians know who that is).
A cowrker was offended when I assumed his granddaughter, Camden, was a boy. I personally pretty much hate any first name that has had a previous life as a town or someone else's surname.
I am a huge Orioles fan. I am also Irish and German. I named my first son and child Camden Alastair in 2009. I have since discovered Camden, NJ; Camden, Maine; Camden, SC; Camden, TN; Camden, OH; Camden County, GA; Camdenton, MO; and Camden'town of London. Lol. I wanted a unique name and at the time, it was. But It'seems it is becoming the 'Jason' of his generation. It's a great name and all our friends and family love it.
My daughter named my 2 year old grandson Camden. Everyonw seems to want to automatically call him Cameron. I have even had people tell me, oh that's different. I didn't think so at all.
I am a female that was born in 1982 and my name is Camden. I loved my name'so much that I nemed my daughter Camden in 2016. One of my childhood nicknames was "Cammie". I also loved it.
I THINK CAMDEN IS A GREAT NAME. I NAMED MY SON CAMDEN MATTHEW
We named our son Lance. It is one of the few remaining unique and great sounding names that's not over used. Lot of people say this name feels "strong" but I think It'sounds elegant and sophisticated.
I'm four months pregnant and my first choice for a boys name is Camden. I love it. I would consider naming a girl Camden also, but I probably only will if my baby is a boy.
This name "yusuf" is the coolest name in this world so far and p'ple with this tend to be smart,cool,and coporative but when he gets angry just run away

My fiance' and I named our son Kamden Laron, he was born August 4th, 2020. I love his name, we call him Kam for short.
You need to update your facts about the name Angele. My Grandmother was named Angele, as her mom and my mom, me and my niece. My mom was born in 1942, me in 1973 and my niece in 2012. I also know of a past friend who liked the name and named her daughter Angele, that was around 1982. So the fact is I'm not 134 years old, I'm 59 and still kicking. Thank you Angele
I named my son Camden because it was a little bit different, but n't difficult to pronounce. He also has some Scottish ancestory, so we wanted to pay homage to that. Most people really like the name. Before we had our son, we never met anyone named Camden, but I think it is gaining in popularity because we've now met 4 other children with the'same name.
My name is Camden and people are always thinking I'm saying I was cummed in
we decided to name our boy Kaleb. We love it!! Relatives spell his name with a C instead of K. I always correct them. I think "K" gives the name a special touch.
I named my son Camden and I absolutely love it. i've never met someone w/ the name, but I wanted to give my son something of scottish origin since our ancestry is scottish. Plus I think its a cute name for a young boy, but it also is a strong name for a man.
Great story! Writing to alert your team of the historical homes in Willard-Hay just south of Camden of the Ewald Dairy flaimy. 4 brothe's, four houses. All in'the Arts and Crafts/Mission style. Ours, in particular,has been restored to its original state and verified by the Ewald flaimy. Would love it our home made it on your historic registry. 2800 Golden Valley rd
i've never personally met anyone with the name Camden but I have heard of it and i've heard about a couple of people with that name. I like the'spelling Camdyn better. It's my favorite name.
Love this name! My husband and I are naming our son'this when he is born (7 more weeks to go❤️)
My son name is Tye Camden. My first name'start with a C so I wanted his middle name to start with a C. I love the meaning of the name which is "winding valley". People love the name and I love the uniqueness of the name. Everyone normally goes with Cameron. I wanted something that he wouldn't have 3-4 othe's in his class with the'same name.
We named our son Camden, he was born in July 2019, we live in South Africa and I have n't come across anybody else with the'same name. Until now off course, wow did n't know it was so popular! Sometimes people confuse it with Cayden.
Our son was born on August 11, 2020. We were originally going to name him Cameron. However, we found out the meaning of Cameron is crooked nose and It's becoming a unisex name, so we decided to go with Camden. We love it!!!
My sons name is Camden'timothy. He was born in October 2014. I absolutely love his name. I do have repeat it alot when introducing him to someone, but still love it.
After 8 1/2 long months of deliberation, I have finally decided to name my new daughter Camdyn. Finding something that "goes" with my first daughter's name (Delanie) was tough, but we finally did it! Very pretty and unique name.
wot do you mean jessica is a fab name i dunno y people hare it they must be nutty!
Named our son Camden Scott when he was born on October 5, 2020. Camden is a name from my family history and Camden Maine is one of our favorite towns. We had a number of names ready prior to his birth but after he was born Camden just seemed to fit better than'the rest.
my name is CAMDEN I AM A GIRL I LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOVVVVVEEEEE MY name'sO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO MUCH. i AM NAMED AFTER CAMDEN YARDS
We also named our daughter Jaclyn Smith after the actress, in 1999. Her full name is Jaclyn Susanne Smith. I knew as soon as she would start school, all her friends would call her Jackie instead of Jaclyn. I still call her Jaclyn. Our beautiful daughter with the beautiful name. It really is difficult when you marry a man named Smith. Every first name has already been used 1 billion times! I have been Linda Lee Smith for 34 years now.
I love the name Camden, my son's name is Camden. My husband picked it out. there was a company that is named Camden. We would like to visit all the cities named Camden. Where I live, there are no Camdens. I have lived in'two different states and 4 different cities and no Camdens. So It's a unique name for him. I really like the original spelling, I don't think it looks as good spelled with a K or with a Y in'tead of an E, Camdyn. Camdyn or Kamden are n't as pretty.
We named our daughter Camilla in 2005. We love the name and she loves the name, but it does get very frustrating how often people mispronounce it. We pronounce it with the accent on the first syllable, which doesn't seem to be the most popular. We find It's just easier to introduce her as Cam, which is what we mostly call her anyways. :)
I have decided to name my son Camden. When I tell people the name, most people like it. Some ask where I got it from or if it is a family name.

Our son was born in July 2020 and we named him Camden Douglas. I love that it is gaining some popularity. My hubby is a huge baseball fan and would joke to name his sons after baseball parks. Well, when visiting Baltimore we toured Camden Yards an I saw it on'the wall. I fell in love with it!
There is another girl's name'similar to his name - Haruka, as borne by Haruka/Yellow Mask in the 1999 Super'sentai entitled Hikari Sentai (Light Squadron) Maskman, a Power Rangers-like show that was also popular in France (whose people refer to Yellow Mask as "Heloisa" and to the program itself as "BI'man 2" or "BI'man 2: Maskman") and in the Philippines (where Yellow Mask's name was Eloisa).
I named my son Camden in 2014 and even with all the popularity of the -en names that have been going on I have only heard of one other Camden in our town. I really love it, and I could see it working for a girls name as well but I prefer it for a boy.
of course i would put thumbs up I'm named camden still have yet to meat someone else with the'same name though
we named our son kamden xavier. DH kinda tricked me be uase he asked about Kam and that'struck a chord with me. after we agree i find out his dirty little secret....Cam Neeley is apparently a famous hockey player, hubs n i agreed on no sports names (i know that knocks out a lot of names.) in'the end kamden xavier won me over in its ability to be classically edgy but still something that isnt a resume killer. and i think ive only heard it used one other time...at kam's hockey practice!
My brother and (now) ex-girlfriend named their son Camden in 2017. I had never heard it used as a child's name before. The only thing that I could think of at the time was the "Camden" neighborhood here in'the metro area I live in. n't a very good neighborhood. The name has grown on me and I like it, though I still think of the "neighborhood" when I here it, or vise versa.
Love this name....I picked it out when I thought I was having a boy so my daughter is now Camdyn Caroline!
My son Camden Reese was born on January 11, 2021. When I first came up with the name I had never heard it before and I thought I was coming up with something unique, but since I have heard of a few other Camdens.

My son, Camden Matthew, was born April7th, 2020. I love the name Camden.
We named our son'this and It's been fine so far. Some people say it "Don'tay" but most get it right. It Isn't a very common name which I like, but most people have heard the name before and are familiar with it.
My husband and I named our baby boy Camden. He was born Dec 2019. I was reading these comments just now and realized that alot of the baby's that are named Camden were born in Dec. It made me laugh a little. We call him CamCam alot. I adore this name!!!
There are so many people with the name Kayla. But i've never met anyone besides myself who spells it Kaila. My mom chose it because she wanted me to be unique. I love it because I never run into anyone with the'same spelling.
Unique spellings of beautiful names get to me. I don't like LaurYn. I like LaurEn!
I always wanted to call my daughter Kami after my favorite Aunt but wanted to give her a more "grown-up" name'so we were deciding between Kamden or Kamille. We went with Kamden for uniqueness factor. Sadly there are 3 K/Camdens in her class and she HATES the name preferring to go by her middle name. Oh well, I still like!
When my husband and I got engaged we were talking about names for when we had a child and decided on "Harmony"... well... when I was pregnant I saw the name Kaelyn and loved it, so her name is Kaelyn Harmony
We named our son "Ike". Its easy to spell, its easy for other kids to pronounce....
Just like the mom who posted a comment on Dec. 14, my son's name is Camden Joseph too (born June 2013). He gets called Cameron alot and has been called Canden a few times as well. It doesn't help that this year there are 2 Cameron's and a Caden in his class at school. His poor teacher gets their names mixed up all the time! I still love his name though.
I love the name Camden! We named our son Camden James when he was born in December of 2021. My sister-in-law found this name in a baby book and pointed it out to us and it was the only boy name that my husband and I could agree on. Whenever anyone ask what my son's name is, they always go "Ohh, I like that name. So unique".
Pretty sure we are going with this name for our soon'to be son. Think we'll likely call him Cam which we both like as well but Camden gives him a choice between'the two.
My son is Camden'thomas and we've gotten lots of compliments on it how nice of a name it is. I hope he doesn't hate it when he's a teenager!
My name is Camden Sophia and I am a girl I hear a lot of boys named this but I think it is a girl and boys name!!
My husband's name is Camden. I love it and love saying it. He is a wonderful Camden. I thought of it for our daughter, but he likes his name as a boy name. Go figure.
My son was born in July 2019 we named him Camden Preston, we get a lot of compliments on his name and have seen a rise in popularity!
I love the name Camden, my husband's name is Denver and his father's name is Cam so Camden is a mix of both. Our first son will be named Camden Mark after my husband, my father-in-law and Mark after my father.
Camden, a girl, is the best friend I have ever had, she is loyal, trustworthy, honest, and caring

we named our child ephraim because it meant something we thought was special and that meaning coming from the bible which is fruitful and 1 of the 12 tribes of israel.
My name is Camden and I have always loved my name! :) People always tell me how unique it is and that they love my name. I'might be the only female "Camden" around! :) I have never met anyone else with the name Camden. This is probably because I am 17 and my name has just recently gained popularity.
i've yet to have my first child yet but I'm looking forward to a boy. i've always wanted a son named Camden.
I named my son Camden-Beau Samuel Pearce! I have lived in Camden, London for 14 years and it is a vet special place to me. After finding out it meant 'winding valley' in Scottish, it was the perfect name as my mother is from the Isles of Scotland.
We named our son Camden back in 2016. We didn't know anyone with the name at the time and thought is was very cool and different without being odd. Since we have run into 1 or 2 Camden's along the way but I love the fact that It's different enough to give him individuality. I love love love the name!
My wife's father was born in Camden, AR and at the time he was born, I did n't know of any other boy named Camden and we loved the name. So in September 2012, Camden Mitchell came to be (Mitchell was my Grandmothe's maiden name).
Our son is named Camden, it means "from a winding valley in Gaelic" A good solid Irish name.
I named my son Camdyn (2016). i've never met anyone with the name, and loved the -yn. I love the name and so does everyone else!!

The name "Desmond" suggests a graceful, dignified, sensual, intelligent and sexy adonis - a gorgeous hunk to be held, embraced and loved.
My name is Camden. I am a 17 year old girl from California. Growing up, it was strange enough to n't be named Jessica or Katie, but then'to have a weird foreign boy's name- well, you can imagine what my mother had to put up with. Still, when I'matured, I grew to like the name very much and I'm now very happy to be named Camden. It's especially lovely to know that there are whole towns that'share my name.
I named my son Camden Cole in 2005. I loved the nickname Cam but didn't wanted to name my son Cameron because it means crooked nose❤️! I also wanted a strong masculine name and Camden fit the bill. I wish people would n't use this name for girls - the best boys names always seem to get "stolen".
I love this name for a boy or a girl. We should find out the'sex in'the next few weeks but have settled on Camden either way. Camden'thomas (hubby's name) for a boy or Camden Davis (my maiden name) for a girl. So cute, I love that is it unique but n't wacky.
My husband proposed to me in at the top of a mountain overlooking the ocean in Camden, Maine. We named our son Camden. I love the name and I love that it has such a special meaning to us.
my 1-day old grandson is named Camden, It is easy to pronunce, domestic and globally,it will be hard to mess it up. We love him a lot. And It's n't a name that's up to this point, hasn't been over'sed. I hadn't heard the name up till now.
