- from Lord Kimberley, whose surname is the name of his family estate. It means "land ["leah" (now "lea" - meadow)] belonging to CYNEBURGA" in Old English
"Cyneburga" is from Old English for "royal fortress" - "cyne" (now = "king") + "burg" ("fortress" - same as it still is in German, and in MANY English place names, e.g., Pittsburgh)
Thus "Lord Kimberly" is the title for the person who owns the land/meadow (estate) on which there is a royal fortress, and "Kimberly" would literally be "meadow of the royal fortress".

It is probably a derivation of the name 'Kimberly' (one l).
Quoted from a website:
" Cyneburg (meaning ''royal forest'') was an Old English personal name. In time, the place name identifying Cyneburg's holdings evolved into its present form of Kimberley."

I can only see the meaning of this name with one 'L' instead of two. and it's of english origin meaning ruler or even chief. actually 4-star rating out of 5.
Enjoy!

What, you can't take your answer here? Google it. I believe it means 'from the royal meadow' or something to do with royalty and meadows.
