Where does the name Amber come from?
Amber comes from the English word for the golden fossil resin used in jewelry, and it can also mean the orange-yellow color. Behind the Name says the word ultimately comes from Arabic ʿanbar (“ambergris”), and that the given name only became popular after Kathleen Winsor’s novel Forever Amber (1944). Wikipedia places it among the Victorian gemstone names that later had a late-20th-century boom.
Other forms of Amber
Amber is short enough that many Ambers skip nicknames, but Behind the Name lists elaborated forms such as Amberly and Amberlynn, plus Ambra in Italian and Ambre in French. Some families also use Amy as a casual pet form even though it is a different name.
Well-known Ambers
Amber Riley played Mercedes Jones on Glee and later won Dancing with the Stars. Amber Tamblyn starred in Joan of Arcadia and the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants films, and she is also a published poet. And Amber Heard has worked in film and television since the mid-2000s.
Amber’s popularity
Amber glowed brightest in the 1980s. US Social Security data has it 65th in the 1970s, 13th in the 1980s, when more than 153,000 American girls were named Amber, and still 20th in the 1990s. It was 92nd in the 2000s, so most Ambers today are in their 20s, 30s and 40s.
A few more things about Amber
Real amber is tree resin that fossilized millions of years ago, sometimes trapping insects inside. That is why Jurassic Park’s DNA-from-a-mosquito joke works, and why an Amber’s name is literally a little piece of deep time.
Gift ideas with Amber in mind
- For a jewelry lover. Sketches and gem notes, for a name that is a gemstone.

- For a Glee fan. Song lists and show memories, in honor of Amber Riley.
- For autumn. A warm-toned notebook that matches amber’s orange-gold color.
A notebook for every Amber
Amber’s Notebook works just as well for a teenager as for a grandmother. It’s 6" x 9", which fits in most bags, with 160 lined pages and no printed layout to work around. Use it as a diary, a school notebook, a planner or a place to collect quotes and ideas. A name on the cover turns an everyday notebook into something personal.
Why choose a personalized notebook?
A plain notebook is useful. One with her name on it is a gift. Seeing “Amber’s Notebook” on the cover tells Amber it was chosen for her, not grabbed off a shelf, and that small touch is often what makes people keep a notebook going instead of abandoning it after a week.
