Kimberlee Origin and Meaning
The name Kimberlee is a girl's name.
Kimberlee is a feminine name that represents a spelling variation of Kimberly, which originated as an English place name derived from Anglo-Saxon elements meaning "royal fortress meadow" or "meadow of the royal fortress." This particular spelling emerged in the mid-20th century when parents began seeking distinctive ways to personalize common names. Kimberlee reached its peak popularity in the United States during the 1960s and 1970s, alongside the standard Kimberly spelling, but has always been the less common variant. The name carries associations with nature and nobility due to its original meaning. The -lee ending gives it a slightly more informal, approachable quality compared to the more traditional -ly ending.
