A girl's name with 555 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
Among U.S. girl's names, Camora currently holds position #5163. It is known but far from saturated — a name that registers without repeating.
With records spanning 2005 to 2024, Camora has a focused history that reflects a particular moment in naming culture rather than a centuries-old tradition.
In the most recent SSA release, Camora ranks #5163 among U.S. girl names — distinctive enough to stand out.
Camora is a girl's baby name of uncertain origin, possibly a creative variant of Camara — an African surname meaning 'teacher' in Mandinka — or a phonetic elaboration of Camille or Camora from Italian place names. It has an exotic, flowing quality.
EtymologyShow more
Names travel. They cross oceans, change spelling, shift pronunciation, and accumulate new associations with each culture that adopts them. Camora does not map cleanly to a single linguistic tradition in our records, which often indicates a name that has crossed cultural boundaries, been adapted between languages, or emerged from the blending that defines American naming.
Camora’s 555 recorded births suggest it has found a niche — possibly within a specific cultural community, region, or naming subculture within the broader American landscape.
