Kimbrough Family History
Kimbrough Name Meaning
English: from the female personal name Kynborough, recorded
in Suffolk, England, as late as the 16th and 17th centuries. Although
there is no Middle English evidence for it, this probably represents a
survival of Old English female personal name Cyneburh, composed
of the elements cyne- ‘royal’ + burh ‘fortress’,
‘stronghold’. This was the name of a daughter of the 7th-century King
Penda of Mercia, who, in spite of her father’s staunch opposition to
Christianity, was converted and founded an abbey, serving as its
head. She was venerated as a saint, and gave her name to the village
of Kimberley in Norfolk. The surname is now almost extinct in England,
but continues to flourish in the U.S.
