Kamora is a modern American name that follows the sound of Kimora and Kamara; it has no inherited meaning and is best described as a "modern coinage". The pattern became popular after model and designer Kimora Lee Simmons rose to fame in the early 2000s. Kamora entered the US top 1000 in 2008 at number 943, its best year, and has stayed just outside it since, ranking number 1108 in 2025.
