Origin
Meaning and history of Kamyri
The name Kamyri is a relatively modern invention, likely created in the 20th century as a feminine variation of the name Kamir or Kamyr. Its origins are uncertain, but it may have roots in various cultures and languages.
One possible source is Arabic, where the name Kamir or Kamyr could be derived from words meaning "moon" or "moonlight." This connection to celestial bodies would align with many traditional naming practices that drew inspiration from nature.
Another potential origin is Persian, where "Kamir" could relate to words meaning "desire" or "wish." Such names were sometimes given to express a parent's hopes for their child's life.
While the name Kamyri itself does not appear to have any significant historical references or mentions in ancient texts, its potential roots in Arabic and Persian cultures suggest a rich cultural heritage.
As a relatively new name, there are no widely recorded instances of individuals with the name Kamyri from distant history. However, here are five notable individuals who have borne this name in more recent times:
1. Kamyri Rosalie, an American fashion designer born in 1985, known for her sustainable and eco-friendly clothing line.
2. Kamyri Milligan, a British actress born in 1998, who has appeared in several television shows and films.

FAQ
Kamyri: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Kamyri?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 97 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Kamyri 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 3,533,550 US residents.
Is Kamyri a common name?
We classify Kamyri as "Very Rare". It ranks above 64.1% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 98 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Kamyri most popular?
The single biggest year for Kamyri was 2020, when 13 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Kamyri is about 9 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 Kamyri in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Kamyri a female name?
Yes, 94.9% of people registered as Kamyri 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 Kamyri still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Kamyri 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 Kamyri 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.
