Is the
Kimberley (also the Kimberleys), a region in Western Australia. I know of at least one boy (historically) named after this region. This may have contributed to its modern popularity in Australia. The spelling also might explain why
Kimberley is more popular than
Kimberly in Australia
(. . . although that's doubtful as 'ey' is always more popular than straight 'y' in Australia.)
