Information on the name Amber
Does anyone have any information on the name Amber. I've read that it's originaly french meaning "A Jewel" but this website says it's English.. Any ideas?

Amber is a word used as a name - like Rose or Hope. And amber is a very beautiful fossilised resin used in jewellery. That is probably where the confusion started.

"amber" in French doesn't mean anything... "ambre" means "amber".
