The story in the numbers
1,501 girls have been named Cameo in the United States since 1957, according to Social Security records. The busiest single year was 1992, with 68 births.
The name has all but left use: none recorded in 2024, against 68 at the peak.
Half of everyone given the name was born by 1987, and the 1980s alone account for 33%.
It is overwhelmingly a girl’s name: 218 boys have also been given it, 13% of the total.

What this page does not tell you. The Social Security data records how many babies were given a name, not what the name means or where it comes from — so neither do we. Counts cover people with a Social Security number; names given to fewer than five babies in a year are withheld. More on the data.
