Kimberley is the name of an area in South Africa where diamonds are mined. The rock diamonds come from is called Kimberlite, and is named for this place. This is my older sister's name also. She was named this because of the name's connection with diamonds. I rather like the name and it suits my sister well. I like it much better than my name (Amanda) or my other sister's name (Robyn). This spelling is also prettier than the traditional Kimberly.
