Amber

Amber (AM-ber)
Origin: From the English word amber that denotes either the gemstone, which is formed from fossil resin, or the orange-yellow colour. The word ultimately derives from Arabic عنبر ('anbar). It began to be used as a given name in the late 19th century, but it only became popular after the release of Kathleen Winsor's novel 'Forever Amber' (1944).
Syllables: 2
Style: 70s-80s, Charms and Graces, Nickname-Proof
Sisters: Heather, Erica, Danielle, Ashley, April

* Amber was occasionally heard a century ago when jewel names were in vogue. It really took off decades later, thanks to the romantic novel Forever Amber, a mid-century sensation. As a result, the name's image is satin-and-lace sensual.

Middle Name Pick: Amber Roxanne
