History & Origin

Ambert sits at the very edge of American naming. It most likely springs from Amber, a hugely popular eighties choice named for the golden gem, with an extra -t attached, though a link to the old surname Lambert cannot be ruled out.

It was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year across a short late-eighties run. A girl recorded as Ambert then would be in her late thirties today, and she was very likely called Amber day to day. The spelling reads as a blend or clerical artifact more than a settled name.

Did you know? Amber, the golden fossil resin used as a gem, was one of the most popular girls' names of the nineteen-eighties, so a stray final -t on that favorite is the simplest explanation for the odd spelling Ambert.
