Kimberley
Western Australian plateau
Kimberley is a given name, used for both males and females but now predominantly feminine.
The name gained popularity from the South African city and diamond-mining region, which itself was named after a British colonial official.
Kimberly is the more common American spelling.
Kimberley prefers Kim for short.
