What does Amber mean?
/ˈæm.bɚ/2 syllablesOrigin: English and Hindi

Amber comes from the Arabic anbar, which originally referred to ambergris, a substance produced by sperm whales. The word later shifted in French and English to describe the golden fossilized tree resin known today as amber, prized as a gemstone since ancient times.

Warm and glowing, the name suits a pet with amber, honey, or golden-brown eyes or fur. It has an old-world elegance without feeling fussy.
