Cymberlee is English in Origin.

Cymberlee is a modern creative respelling of Kimberly/Kimberley, pronounced KIM-ber-lee. The name ultimately traces to the English surname and place-name Kimberley (Norfolk and Nottinghamshire), from Old English elements: the personal name Cyneburg (from cyne “royal” + burg “fortress, protection”) and lēah “woodland clearing, meadow.” It therefore means “Cyneburg’s meadow,” often interpreted as “meadow of the royal lady.”

The surname gained prominence in the 19th century through the Earl of Kimberley, and the South African diamond town of Kimberley helped publicize it. As a given name, Kimberly rose sharply in the United States from the 1940s through the 1970s, chiefly feminine though recorded earlier for boys. Cymberlee reflects late-20th-century tastes for -lee/-leigh endings and inventive spellings. Common variants include Kimberley, Kimberly, Kimberlee, Kimberleigh, Kimberlie, and Kimberli; diminutives Kim and Kym are widespread. Related C-forms sometimes seen are Cymberleigh and Cymberly.
