Amber
Meaning of Amber
Amber is a beautiful and timeless name for girls, pronounced as AM-bur. The name Amber has its origins in the English language and is derived from the fossilized tree resin that has been cherished for centuries for its natural beauty and warm, golden hues. Often associated with warmth, light, and energy, Amber evokes images of glowing sunsets and precious gemstones. This name saw a surge in popularity in the United States during the late 20th century, peaking in the early 1990s when it consistently ranked among the top 20 names for baby girls. Despite its decline in recent years, Amber remains a classic choice that exudes both elegance and simplicity. A notable variation of this name is Ambra, which offers a slightly exotic twist while retaining its original charm.
