Meaning & Origin
Kimberlynn is a girl's baby name, an elaborated form of Kimberly, from the Old English place name Cyneburg's field, meaning 'royal fortress meadow.' Kimberly peaked in the 1960s-70s as one of America's favorite girls' names, and Kimberlynn offers a more ornate, contemporary variation.
The '-lynn' suffix (from Welsh, meaning 'lake') adds a lyrical, flowing quality to an already melodic name. For parents who love Kimberly but want something slightly more distinctive, Kimberlynn adds elegance without changing the familiar sound.
