Cymberly is English in Origin.

Cymberly is a modern respelling of Kimberly, an English surname and place-name turned given name. Kimberly ultimately comes from the Norfolk place Kimberley; that toponym derives from Old English elements: the personal name Cyneburh ("royal fortress," from cyne 'royal' + burh 'fort') plus leah 'wood, clearing'. The sense is "Cyneburh's meadow/clearing" or, by folk gloss, "meadow of the royal fortress." Cymberly preserves the meaning while lending a distinctive C- and y-forward twist.

As a given name, Kimberly emerged in the late 19th century via the South African diamond town of Kimberley (named for the Earl of Kimberley) and became widely popular for girls in the mid-20th century, though it saw some early masculine use. Cymberly itself remains rare, appearing in late-20th-century U.S. records. Related forms include Kimberly, Kimberley, Kimberlee, Kimberlie, Kymberly, Cimberly, and Cymberley; nicknames include Kim, Kimmie, and Kimber.
