It is a derivative for kamuri, the Japanese word for "a small crown."

I've always wondered that myself. I don't even know what in the hell the word 'camry' means.

Camry's are good cars, but I've never been a huge fan; you're too disconnected from the road in them. It's too sedate, and it's hard to find in stick shift. The V6 version of the Nissan Altima is more of a driver's car; it screams like a NASCAR when you floor it, and is pure joy with a stick shift.

Probably from the same guy that came up with the name Booo-ikk.
