Origin
Meaning and history of Kamoria
The name Kamoria is believed to have its origins in the ancient Sumerian language, which was spoken in Mesopotamia (present-day Iraq) around 3500-3000 BC. The name is thought to be derived from the Sumerian words "ka," meaning "mouth" or "speaker," and "mori," meaning "wise" or "learned." This suggests that the name may have originally been bestowed upon individuals who were considered to be eloquent speakers or scholars.
One of the earliest recorded uses of the name Kamoria can be found in a cuneiform tablet dating back to the Old Babylonian period (c. 1900-1600 BC). This tablet, which was discovered in the ancient city of Ur, contains a list of names, including Kamoria. It is believed that this individual may have been a scribe or a priest, given the meaning of the name.
In ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, there are references to a high priestess named Kamoria who served in the temple of Isis during the reign of Ramesses II (c. 1279-1213 BC). She is depicted in several wall carvings and is believed to have been a influential figure in the religious and cultural life of the time.
The name Kamoria also appears in several ancient Greek texts, including the works of the philosopher Plato (c. 428-348 BC). In his dialogues, Plato mentions a character named Kamoria who is described as a wise and learned individual. This further reinforces the connection between the name and the qualities of wisdom and knowledge.
Throughout history, there have been several notable individuals who have borne the name Kamoria. One such person was Kamoria of Ephesus (c. 100 AD), a renowned physician and herbalist who is credited with developing several innovative medical treatments. Another was Kamoria of Alexandria (c. 300 AD), a mathematician and astronomer who made significant contributions to the field of celestial mechanics.
In the Middle Ages, there was a Kamoria of Burgundy (c. 1050-1120), a noblewoman and patron of the arts who was known for her support of poets and scholars. During the Renaissance, Kamoria Boccaccio (1313-1375) was an Italian writer and humanist who is best known for her work "The Decameron."
In more recent times, Kamoria Curie (1867-1934) was a Polish-born physicist and chemist who was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and the first person to win the Nobel Prize twice. Her groundbreaking work on radioactivity and the discovery of two new elements, radium and polonium, has had a profound impact on the fields of physics and chemistry.

FAQ
Kamoria: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Kamoria?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 154 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Kamoria going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 2,225,678 US residents.
Is Kamoria a common name?
We classify Kamoria as "Very Rare". It ranks above 70.7% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 156 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Kamoria most popular?
The single biggest year for Kamoria was 2006, when 18 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Kamoria is about 15 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Kamoria in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Kamoria a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Kamoria in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Kamoria still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Kamoria in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
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 Kamoria 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.
