Origin and meaning of Ambra
Ambra comes, via Latin, from the Arabic ʿanbar: it names amber, the golden fossil resin prized since antiquity for its warm colour and almost magical reputation. A luminous, sensual gem-name, it spread in Italy from the 1990s; the forms Amber and Ambre make it recognisable across the English- and French-speaking worlds.
