Kibbles

Answer 3

It sounds more Scottish than Irish.

Edit: Some quick research reveals that the name's origin is neither Irish nor Sottish, but English.  From the village of Kilburne in Middlesex, where a mineral well was quite popular.  It seems as if the name is a composite of the Danish 'kilde' and the English 'bourne', both having the same basic meaning, a stream or fountain.  The Danes invaded and contolled much of England in the 9th century.

Answer 4

The name is English.  

It is a habitational name from a place in North Yorkshire or one in Derbyshire, both of uncertain etymology. They are possibly named from an Old English personal name Cylla or Old English cyl(e)n ‘kiln’ + burna ‘stream’.
