📜 Kamen Through the Generations
Looking at the generational breakdown, Kamen is a name that didn't really exist in the US before the early 1990s. There are zero bearers over 60 and only 104 between the ages of 30 and 60, which tells us this name arrived on American soil quite recently. A striking 319 of the 415 living bearers are under 30, that's about 75% of everyone with this name. The average age sits at just 21, making it one of the youngest names you'll encounter in any database. It peaked in 1994 with 25 births in a single year, and it's been on a declining trend since then. With only 423 total births ever recorded in the US, Kamen remains very rare on American soil. Globally, it ranks #63,498 with around 9,481 living bearers worldwide, and it's most commonly found in Bulgaria, where it has deep cultural roots. That Bulgarian connection makes sense, as it's a traditional name there meaning "stone." It'll be interesting to see if this name finds new life or continues its quiet fade in the US.
