History & Origin
Camran has two honest sources: the Persian name Kamran, meaning successful or fortunate, and a streamlined respelling of the Scottish surname-name Cameron, itself from cam sron, crooked nose. In United States records it stayed rare, reaching only a couple dozen boys a year at its high around 2004, without ever becoming common.
A boy named Camran from the early two-thousands is a teenager or young adult now. Whether a family chose it for the Persian meaning or as a fresh take on Cameron, it reads as a modern, streamlined name rather than a revival of anything older.
