Origin
Meaning and history of Khamaron
The name Khamaron has its origins in ancient Persia, now known as Iran, and dates back to the Achaemenid Empire which ruled from around 550 BC to 330 BC. It is derived from the Old Persian words "khama" meaning "curved" and "ron" meaning "path" or "way", likely referring to a curved or winding road or path.
The earliest known reference to the name Khamaron can be found in cuneiform inscriptions on clay tablets from the reign of Darius the Great, the third king of the Achaemenid Empire, who ruled from 522 BC to 486 BC. These inscriptions mention a high-ranking official or nobleman named Khamaron who was responsible for overseeing the construction of roads and infrastructure throughout the empire.
One of the most famous individuals to bear the name Khamaron was a Persian warrior and general who served under King Xerxes I during the Greco-Persian Wars in the 5th century BC. This Khamaron is said to have led a contingent of elite Persian soldiers known as the "Immortals" in the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC against the legendary Spartan King Leonidas and his 300 warriors.
In the centuries that followed, the name Khamaron continued to be used among Persian aristocracy and nobility. A Khamaron is mentioned in the Zoroastrian religious text, the Bundahishn, from the 9th century AD as a prominent figure in the court of the Sassanid King Khosrow I, who ruled from 531 to 579 AD.
Another notable Khamaron was a Persian scholar and philosopher who lived in the 11th century AD during the reign of the Seljuk Empire. This Khamaron is known for his writings on ethics, metaphysics, and the nature of the soul, which influenced later Islamic thinkers.
In more recent times, a Khamaron was a prominent Iranian poet and writer who lived in the 19th century and was celebrated for his mastery of the Persian ghazal form of poetry. This Khamaron, whose full name was Khamaron Shirazi, was born in 1810 and died in 1888.

FAQ
Khamaron: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Khamaron?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 8 living Americans.

The single biggest year for Khamaron was 2000, when 8 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Khamaron is about 26 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 Khamaron in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.

Is Khamaron still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Khamaron 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 Khamaron 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.
