Kymberly is a gender-neutral name and is a variant of Kimberly. Both have Old English origins and tie back to a place name in Norfolk, England. The first element comes from the name Cyneburg, signifying "royal fortress," and the second is lēah, which means "woodland" or "clearing." Kimberly became popular in the modern English-speaking world as it was a scene of fighting and victory during the Second Boer War in Northern Cape, South Africa. Giving your little one the name Kymberly reminds them that your family will always be a stronghold for them to rely on throughout life's battles.
