Ambrosio is Greek in Origin.

Ambrosio is the Spanish and Portuguese form of Latin Ambrosius, ultimately from Greek Ambrosios, “immortal, divine,” related to ambrosia, the food of the gods. The name spread through the Roman Empire via early Christian usage, most famously Saint Ambrose (Aurelius Ambrosius), 4th-century bishop of Milan, hymn writer, and Doctor of the Church, which fixed the name in Romance-speaking Europe and later in Latin America and the Philippines.

While uncommon today, Ambrosio appears in Iberian records from the late Middle Ages onward and persisted in colonial baptismal rolls. Variants include Ambrose (English), Ambroise (French), Ambrogio (Italian), Ambrósio (Portuguese orthography), Ambrosius (Latin/German), and Slavic forms such as Ambroży and Amvrosy. Diminutives range from Brose and Ambro to Brosio. The meaning “immortal, godlike” lends a dignified, antiquarian aura, with December 7 often observed as a name day in honor of Saint Ambrose.
