Kameah

Meaning of Kameah

Kameah (kuh-MEE-uh) is the sort of name that makes a room pause and smile—short, sweet, and just uncommon enough to feel like a hidden gem. Most etymologists trace it back to Kamea, a Hawaiian word for “the one and only,” while Hebrew speakers hear echoes of kamea, meaning “amulet” or “little charm.” Either way, the story circles back to uniqueness and protection: a child celebrated as singular and beautifully guarded. In the United States, Kameah has been tip-toeing along the lower edge of the Top 1,000 since the mid-2000s, never cracking the top 900 but popping up often enough to show that a quiet fan club exists among parents who want something fresh yet approachable. The melody of the name, the soft consonants rolling into that bright “MEE,” gives it an easygoing, sun-kissed vibe—think of flip-flops on a boardwalk with just a pinch of stardust. For moms and dads hunting for a modern choice that still carries layers of meaning, Kameah graciously answers, “I’m all yours.”
