History & Origin
Tamberly is a blended name joining the Tam- of Tammy or Tamara to the -berly of Kimberly, both peaking in the same years. Tamara means date palm in Hebrew; Kimberly is an English place name. Tamberly borrows their sounds to make a fresh, of-the-moment girl's name.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its mid-1960s high and gone by the late 1970s. A Tamberly from that time is in her late fifties now; it reads as a coined blend of its decade rather than a revival.
