Kamel is a first name for boys.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Kamel in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Kamel in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Kamel by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Kamel ranks at #5,563. That means there are 5,562 more common boys names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Kamel.

However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few men and boys called Kamel living in one state or another.
