Ambrosius is Greek in Origin.

Ambrosius is the Latin form of Greek Ambrosios, from ambrotos “immortal, undying,” related to ambrosia, the divine food of the gods. The name thus carries connotations of imperishability and sacred vitality, making it attractive in Christian contexts where it also evoked eternal life.

Its European diffusion stems from late antiquity and the prestige of Saint Ambrose of Milan (Aurelius Ambrosius), a 4th‑century bishop and Doctor of the Church, and from the Romano‑British leader Ambrosius Aurelianus, remembered in Welsh tradition as Emrys. Local forms include Ambrose (English; short form Brose), Ambroise (French), Ambrogio/Ambrogino and dialectal Ambroeus (Italian/Milanese), Ambrosio (Spanish), Ambrósio (Portuguese), Ambrosius (German, Dutch, Scandinavian), Ambrus (Hungarian), Ambroży (Polish), Ambrož (Czech, Slovene), Ambróz (Slovak), Ambrozie (Romanian), and Amvrosiy/Amvrosii Амвросий (East Slavic). In medieval and early modern records, Ambrosius frequently appears as the learned Latin register of these vernacular names; modern use is rare and tends to sound ecclesiastical or scholarly.
