Kimberley (surname)
''Kimberley'' is a surname in the English language. A variant form of the surname is ''Kimberly''.〔
''Kimberley'' is derived from any of several places in England named ''Kimberley''.〔 which cited: for the surnames "Kimberly", "Kimberley".〕 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".〔 which cited: 〕 The Kimberly in Nottinghamshire is similarly derived, although the personal name is ''Cynemær''. Likewise the Kimberly in Warwickshire is derived from the personal name ''Cynebold''.
An early record of the surname is ''de Chineburlai'', in 1161; and ''de Kynmerley'', in 1300.
The Earls of Kimberley derived their title from the place name in Norfolk. Their name gave rise to the like-named place Kimberley, in Northern Cape, South Africa. From this South African place name comes the modern given names ''Kimberley'' and ''Kimberly''.
