Camden Family History
Camden Name Meaning
English: possibly a habitational name from Broad Campden or Chipping Campden in Gloucestershire both named with Old English camp ‘enclosure’ + denu ‘valley’. Camden Town in London is not the source: this is a late name deriving from the title of Charles Pratt Earl of Camden of Camden Place Chislehurst (Kent) which takes its name from William Camden the Elizabethan antiquary whose surname is from Campden (Gloucestershire).
