What does Ember mean?
2 syllables

Ember is a word name taken from the glowing, smoldering piece of coal or wood left after a fire has burned down. The word comes from the Old English æmerge, part of a family of old Germanic words for embers and ashes.

Ember has a warm, glowing quality that suits a pet with a fiery coat color or a spark of intensity in their personality. It's a small word with a lot of warmth packed into it.
