Hi Everyone,
Like Bob, my understanding of the Cameron name was that it is from the
Gaelic Camshron for "hooked" or "crooked" nose - I have seen that
explanation in various books I have come across over many years but
cannot quote a definitive source.

Hi listers,
I've always believed that the Highland surname comes from the Gaelic Camshron
- "crooked nose" although I don't have a reference for that. Maybe
something like "The Clan Cameron" by C.I. Fraser would help to authenticate
that?
Best wishes, Bob Cameron, U.K.
