Kimberleigh is English in Origin.
Kimberleigh is a modern elaboration of the English place-name given name Kimberley/Kimberly. The root is the toponym Kimberley, from Old English elements: Cyneburh (a female name meaning "royal fortress") + leah ("woodland clearing, meadow"), giving "Cyneburh's clearing"; some locales reflect Cynemaer + leah. The -leigh ending reprises leah while supplying a contemporary, ornamental twist.
Adopted from surname to first name in the late 19th–20th centuries, usage spread with the fame of South Africa's diamond center Kimberley (named for the Earl). Across the English-speaking world it became largely feminine, peaking mid-century, while alternative spellings rose later. Variants and short forms include Kimberley, Kimberly, Kimberlee, Kimberlie, Kimberli, Kimber, Kim, and Kimmie; masculine Kimberley occurs occasionally in Britain.
