What does the name Kymber mean?
Kymber is a spelling of Kimber, pronounced the same way, so it shares Kimber's meaning and origin.
In the US Kimber is mostly used as a short form of Kimberly, a name taken from the South African diamond town of Kimberley, which was named after Lord Kimberley, whose title comes from an English place name. Kimber is also an English surname. Wiktionary gives two origins: from the Anglo-Saxon women's name Cyneburh (cyne- 'royal' + burh 'fortress'), and from East and West Kimber in Devon, a place named from Old English elements probably meaning 'warrior's grove'.
cyne- (Old English, “royal”)burh (Old English, “fortress”)
How sure is this? Uncertain. Several unrelated sources lead to the same form; for most American bearers it is a short form of Kimberly.
