Kamarion
Meaning of Kamarion
Kamarion is a modern American coinage that synthetically extends the unisex name Kamari— itself derived from the Arabic qamar, “moon”—with the masculine -ion suffix that also appears in names such as Marion and Demarion. Linguistically, the construction yields a three-syllable cadence, kuh-MAR-ee-ən, which preserves the stressed medial vowel of its Arabic antecedent while conforming to prevailing English phonotactics. First registering in United States vital-records data in 1998 with five occurrences, Kamarion has maintained a position in the mid-700s to low-800s of the national rankings, reaching a relative peak of 722 in 2010 and recording 141 births in 2024. The semantic association with the moon lends the name subtle celestial overtones, and its morphological pattern situates it within a broader African-American naming tradition that favors inventive affixation for phonological distinction and cultural resonance. Consequently, Kamarion occupies a niche that is simultaneously contemporary, culturally expressive, and etymologically tethered to the lunar imagery embedded in its Arabic root.
