Field or open country
Kamp is a Dutch and Low German surname-turned-given name derived from the Latin word 'campus'. It historically referred to a field, enclosure, or a piece of land used for agriculture or battle. As a first name, it is exceptionally rare and offers a modern, punchy alternative to more common nature-inspired names.
