History & Origin
Cambren is a coined boys' name in the modern surname style, usually taken as a blend of Cameron, from the Scottish cam sron, 'crooked nose,' with a -bren ending like Brennan. It reflects the twenty-first-century taste for freshly minted, masculine-sounding names built from familiar Celtic parts.
Cambren was never common, given to only about fourteen boys a year at its early-2010s peak and to roughly a hundred boys in all. A boy named Cambren then is entering his teens today, part of the modern coined-surname trend.
