Where this word comes from

The gens stems from a nickname given by both Celtic (Gaulish) and Germanic people. The Gauls and Germanic tribes used the word Cimber to describe someone in either a negative light ("thief, robber") (attested by Plutarch) or positive one ("soldier, warrior"); in both senses connected to the ethnonym Cimbri. Germanic dialectal forms included kemffer, kempher, kemper, kimber, and kamper.
