Kimberlynn
Kimberlynn Origin and Meaning
Kimberlynn is a contemporary feminine name that represents a creative combination of Kimberly and the popular suffix -lynn. This modern compound name emerged during the late 20th century as part of the trend toward distinctive, extended feminine names in American naming practices. Kimberly itself derives from an English place name meaning "land of the Cymry" (referring to Welsh people), while the suffix -lynn comes from the Welsh element meaning "lake" or "waterfall." Kimberlynn remains relatively uncommon, giving it a distinctive quality while still sounding familiar. The name peaked in modest usage during the 1990s and early 2000s, appealing to parents seeking a name with a feminine, melodic quality that extends beyond traditional options. Its four syllables create a flowing, rhythmic sound with a contemporary American aesthetic.
