Kimberly (given name)
''Kimberly'' is a unisex given name originated from a South African place. The name was derived from an English title, which was in turn derived from an English place name. A variant spelling of the name is ''Kimberley'', borne by both males and females. The form ''Kimberly'' is more common in North America than ''Kimberley''. The given name ''Kim'' was originally a short form of ''Kimberley'', but it is now established as an independent name in its own right; this name is also borne by both males and females.
==Origin of the given name==
The given name ''Kimberley'' is derived from place, Kimberley, in Northern Cape, South Africa. This South African place name was named after a Lord Kimberley in the 19th century.〔 At the end of the 19th century, this place was the scene of fighting and a British victory during the Second Boer War, and consequently the given name was popularised in the English-speaking world.
The name of Lord Kimberley's title is derived from Kimberley, in Norfolk, England. This place name is derived from two Old English elements: the first is the feminine personal name ''Cyneburg''; the second element is ''lēah'', meaning "wood" or "clearing".〔〔 The place name roughly means: the "woodland clearing of ''Cyneburg''". This place name was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as ''Chineburlai''.〔 which cited: 〕 The Old English personal name ''Cyneburg'' means "royal-fortress".
