Ambar is of Indian origin, derived from the Sanskrit word 'Ambara', which means 'sky' or 'atmosphere'. It is often used as a given name for both boys and girls in India. The name Ambar is particularly popular in the states of Maharashtra and Goa. In some regions, it may also be associated with the Hindi phrase 'ambar ka chidna', meaning 'sound of thunder', adding another layer of interpretation to its meaning. Beyond India, Ambar has been adopted as a given name by families of Indian descent living around the world.
"The name Ambar first appeared in 1980 with five births that year."
