Kimberley is English in Origin.
Kimberley is an English toponymic surname turned given name, drawn from places called Kimberley in Norfolk and Nottinghamshire; through the Earl of Kimberley, it also named the South African diamond-mining city. The place-name stems from Old English Cyneburg (a female name from cyne ‘royal’ + burh ‘fortress’) and lēah ‘wood/clearing’, yielding the sense “Cyneburg’s clearing” or, loosely, “royal meadow.”
As a given name it came into wide Anglophone use in the mid-20th century, becoming chiefly feminine while remaining occasionally unisex. It peaked in Britain and the United States in the 1960s–70s and has seen steady use in Australia and New Zealand. Common variants include Kimberly (the dominant U.S. spelling), Kimberlee, Kimberleigh, Kimberlie, and Kymberley; related forms are Kimber and the diminutives Kim, Kimmie, and Kimmy. The spelling Kimberley remains standard in much of the Commonwealth.
