Ambrosye is Greek in Origin.

Ambrosye is a rare, archaizing variant of Ambrose, ultimately from Greek Ambrosios “immortal, divine,” linked to ambrosia, the food of the gods. Through Latin Ambrosius it entered Christian naming traditions, anchored by St. Ambrose of Milan (4th century), a revered bishop and Doctor of the Church. The name flourished across medieval Europe in clerical and lay use, later enjoying antiquarian revivals in English-speaking countries and steady use in Eastern Orthodox contexts.

Spelled -sye to echo Middle English and Anglo-French spellings (cf. Ambrosye/Ambroise), this form is uncommon but readable, sometimes chosen to lend a medieval or literary cast. Established variants include Ambrose (English), Ambroise (French), Ambrosio (Spanish/Portuguese), Ambrogio (Italian), Ambroży (Polish), Amvrosii/Amvrosy (East Slavic), and the learned Ambrosius; feminine counterparts include Ambrosia and Ambrosine. Meaning centers on “immortal” or “divine,” connoting grace, endurance, and sanctity.
