Camboriú is a municipality in the state of Santa Catarina, in the South region of Brazil, close to the popular beach destination of Balneário Camboriú. Its name refers to the Camboriú River and comes from the Tupi language, where it is read as river of the common snook, from kamuri for snook and y for river. Another explanation links the name to the Pedra Branca hill, whose shape resembles a breast and is visible from many points in the municipality, with a reading of the Tupi word as nursing. The citypopulation.de census table gives the municipality 41,445 residents in 2000, 62,361 in 2010 and 103,074 in 2022.
