Kirbi is English in Origin.

Kirbi is a contemporary spelling of Kirby, an English surname derived from numerous place names in northern and eastern England influenced by Norse settlement. Its elements come from Old Norse kirkja "church" and byr "farm, village," yielding the sense "church settlement" or "village with a church." The form Kirby emerged as a simplified Middle English variant of Kirkby; Kirbi continues that evolution as a modern, streamlined, and distinctive rendering.

As a given name, Kirby gained traction in the 20th century with the rise of surname-first naming and has long been used for both boys and girls. Kirbi appears chiefly in North America as a creative, often feminine-leaning respelling that preserves the same meaning. Related forms and variants include Kirby, Kerby, and Kirkby; rare spellings such as Kyrby also occur.
