History & Origin

Kimbery is a pared spelling of Kimberly, which grew from an English place and surname meaning roughly 'Cyneburg's meadow'. It rode Kimberly's enormous mid-century popularity; dropping the inner l left this thinner offshoot.

It stayed uncommon, only a few dozen girls a year at its high around 1970, tracking Kimberly's own rise and fall. It keeps company with Kimberly, Kimberley and Kim.

Did you know? Kimberly, behind Kimbery, is a place name before a personal one — its fame partly rides on Kimberley, the South African diamond town of the 1870s rush.
