Kamarcus is an uncommon yet distinctive given name of African origin, specifically derived from the Ashanti culture of Ghana. The name is composed of two elements: 'Kama,' which means 'assume' or 'take on,' and 'rcus,' thought to be a variant of 'cus,' meaning 'God.' Thus, Kamarcus can be interpreted as 'Assume God's will' or 'Take on divine purpose.' It is a unisex name, though it is more commonly used for males. Kamarcus is not widespread, but it has been present in the United States since at least the 1970s, with its earliest recorded usage dating back to the late 20th century.
The name Kamarcus was given to six newborns in 2013, with no previous instances of its use for baby boys recorded in any preceding years.
