Kimberly (also Kimberley [1] or Kimberlee) is a unisex given name of Old English origin. John Wodehouse, 1st Earl of Kimberley , a place in Norfolk, England , popularised the name by giving it to a town in South Africa and a region in Australia .
However, several such places have differing etymologies. For example, the Kimberly in Norfolk is derived from two Old English elements: the first is the feminine personal name Cyneburg; the second element is lēah, meaning "wood" or "clearing". [2] The Kimberly in Nottinghamshire is similarly derived, although the personal name is Cynemær.
It is also used as a diminutive or nickname for names such as Kimber, Kimberly, Kimberley, Kimball and Kimiko. In Kenya, it is short for various male names such as Kimutai and Kimani. In Vietnam, it is also a unisex name. A notable use of the name was the fictional street urchin Kimball O'Hara in Rudyard Kipling's book Kim, published in 1901.
