Old photograph of female farm workers in Argyll, Scotland. Campbell, a Scottish surname of Gaelic origins, was the most common surname in Argyll. The name itself derives from two Scottish Gaelic words. " Cam " meaning crooked, and " Beul " meaning mouth, together meaning " Crooked mouth " or " wry mouthed ", originally a nickname which over time became used as a surname. Campbell is the third most common surname in Northern Ireland, fourth most common in Jamaica, seventh most common in Scotland, 12th most common in Canada, 18th most common in Australia, 41st most common in the United States and 65th most common in England. The Irish occurrence of the name usually has a different derivation, from the surname Mac Cathmhaoil. Descendants of a famous war leader Cathmhaoil meaning " battle chief " who took the surname, which was often pronounced " Cammel ". This coincided with the pronunciation of the Scottish surname " Campbell ", and was therefore anglicised to the same spelling. From this Irish surname, a number of derivations were derived including MacCawill, McCaul, MacCall, Caulfield, and of course Campbell.
