About the name Ambar
Ambar means sky in Sanskrit and has nothing to do with the fossilised resin the English word describes, though the coincidence delights diaspora parents. In India it stays firmly a boys' name, which sometimes surprises Americans who have only met it as a girl's.
Ambar is a boy name of Sanskrit origin, pronounced UM-bur. On the NameRarity scale it scores 92 out of 100, which places it in the ultra rare band — fewer than 1 in 10,000 people carry this name. You will almost never meet another. Its strongest period was the 2000s.
