Ambrose, often shortened to Amber, is of Latin origin and means "immortal". It was derived from the Roman god Mercury's Greek counterpart, Hermes, who was known for his swiftness and cunning. In medieval times, it was also associated with the Latin word 'ambrosius', meaning 'Immortal'.
"Ambra was a popular name in 1985 and 1987, with five babies named each year, totaling ten in those two years."
