What is the meaning of the name Ambros ?

The baby name Ambros is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced AM-bros (IPA: /ˈæm.brɒs/ or /ˈæm.broʊs/).

Ambros is Greek in Origin.

Ambros is a continental form of Latin Ambrosius, from Greek Ambrosios “immortal, divine,” ultimately ambrotos “not dying,” source of the word ambrosia. The name therefore carries the meaning “immortal” and “of the divine.” It is typically masculine.

It gained prominence through Saint Ambrose of Milan (4th century), a leading Church Father whose cult spread the name across Christian Europe from late antiquity into the Middle Ages. By association, it came to evoke eloquence, hymnody, and learning in Western Christianity. Ambros appears in German-speaking lands and Slavic regions, sometimes as a surname, and remains uncommon but familiar today. Related forms include Ambrose (English), Ambroise (French), Ambrogio (Italian), Ambrosio (Spanish/Portuguese), Ambrus (Hungarian), Ambrož (Czech/Slovene), Ambroży (Polish), Amvrosii/Amvrosy (Russian/Ukrainian), and Ambrosios (Greek). Short forms and nicknames include Brose and Ambro.
