Pembrok is Welsh in Origin.

Pembrok is a streamlined spelling of Pembroke, an English surname and place-name tied to the town and historic county in southwest Wales. The name ultimately reflects Welsh Penfro (Sir Benfro), commonly glossed as "land's end" or "headland," from pen "head, end" and bro "region; country." As such, Pembrok carries the sense of a prominent point of land or the edge of a territory.

As a surname, Pembroke appears in medieval records and became widely recognized through the English peerage title Earl of Pembroke, most famously borne by William Marshal (c.1146-1219). Transferred to given-name use from the 18th century onward in Britain and later the United States, it has remained rare and often honorific. Pembrok, dropping the final e, is a modern variant with contemporary appeal. Related forms include Pembroke, Pembrook, and Pembrooke; Welsh Penfro names the place. Possible diminutives are Pem and Brook/Brooke.
