Pemberley First Name Meaning

Pemberley is a gender-neutral name of English origin that means "From The Barley Hill."

Various adaptations of the novel have used real-life English estates like Dyrham Park, Renishaw Hall, Lyme Park, Chatsworth House, and Harewood House to represent Pemberley. Additionally, Pemberley Press is referenced in the film Bridget Jones's Diary and Pemberley Digital is featured in The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, a modern adaptation of Pride and Prejudice.
