Kimberlie
Kimberlie Origin and Meaning
Kimberlie is a feminine name representing a variant spelling of Kimberly, which originated as an English place name and surname derived from Anglo-Saxon elements meaning 'royal fortress meadow' or 'meadow of the royal fortress.' This spelling variation with 'ie' instead of 'y' gained modest popularity in the 1970s and 1980s, when Kimberly was at its peak. The alternative spelling gives the name a slightly more distinctive and feminine quality while maintaining the same pronunciation. Often shortened to Kim, Kimberlie conveys a blend of strength and femininity. While less common than the traditional spelling, Kimberlie appeals to parents seeking a familiar name with a unique twist, offering individuality without straying far from the recognizable original.
