Kimberli Origin and Meaning

The name Kimberli is a girl's name.

Kimberli is a feminine name that emerged as a variant spelling of Kimberly in the mid-20th century. The traditional name Kimberly originated as an English place name meaning "from the royal clearing or meadow." This alternative spelling with an 'i' ending gained popularity in the United States particularly during the 1960s and 1970s when parents began experimenting with creative spellings. Kimberli offers a slightly more distinctive take on the classic name while maintaining its recognizable sound and appeal. Like Kimberly, it's often associated with qualities of strength and femininity, though it has never achieved the same level of widespread usage as the standard spelling.
