Origins of surname

This surname originated in a Gaelic nickname, caimbeul, meaning 'crooked mouth', from dam = 'bent' and beul = 'mouth'

Early records

The first appearance of this surname in Jersey records was in the 1750s, when the daughters of John Campbell and Anne Read were baptised. There were several different families in the island in the early 1800s, and it was Touchet Campbell and Isabella who were the founders of the first to become fully established
