scottish for 'crooked nose,' now worn proudly by prime ministers and pop-punk drummers alike.

means a scottish surname turned first name, meaning someone whose ancestor apparently had a nose you'd remember.

from from gaelic cam (crooked) plus sron (nose), first a clan nickname in the scottish highlands before it drifted south as a surname, then a given name by the 20th century.
