Origin
Meaning and history of Kamariyon
The name Kamariyon is a very ancient one, with its origins traced back to the Sumerian civilization in Mesopotamia, which flourished around 3500 BC to 2000 BC. It is believed to have derived from the Sumerian words "ka-mar-iyon," which roughly translates to "guardian of the celestial realm" or "protector of the heavens."
In the early days of Sumerian culture, Kamariyon was a revered name associated with astronomical and astrological significance. It was often bestowed upon individuals who held esteemed positions as astrologers, astronomers, or priests dedicated to the study of celestial bodies and their influences on human affairs.
The name Kamariyon can be found inscribed on ancient Sumerian cuneiform tablets, which were clay tablets used for writing and record-keeping. These tablets document various celestial observations and astrological predictions, suggesting that individuals bearing this name played a crucial role in the advancement of early astronomical knowledge.
One of the earliest recorded individuals with the name Kamariyon was a renowned Sumerian astrologer and priest who lived around 2300 BC. His name has been preserved on a clay tablet that details his observations and predictions of celestial events, such as eclipses and planetary alignments.

During the Neo-Babylonian period, around 600 BC, a high priest named Kamariyon is mentioned in historical records for his role in the restoration of the famous Ishtar Gate in the city of Babylon.
Moving forward in history, the name Kamariyon also found its way into ancient Persian culture. Around 500 BC, a Persian scholar and astronomer named Kamariyon is credited with contributing to the development of the Persian calendar and the study of celestial movements.
In the 2nd century AD, a Greek philosopher and astronomer named Kamariyon is known for his work on the motion of planets and his efforts to calculate the circumference of the Earth. His writings and calculations were widely studied and referenced by later scholars in the field of astronomy.

Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Kamariyon can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
