The mighty Anglo-Saxon tribes who anciently ruled all of Britain initially established this topographically-oriented surname to designate a person or persons who lived adjacent to a river or stream named the "of Cam". Alternativley, the surname may refer to "the camb", which is "the crest of a hill or a dike". The surname first emerges through the withering sands of time from Gloucestershire, where they had held a family seat from ancient times.
