Bambra is in Origin.

Bambra is a rare given name most commonly adopted from surnames and place-names. In Australia it echoes Bambra, a rural locality in Victoria; the toponym is widely thought to come from a local Aboriginal (Wadawurrung) term, sometimes glossed as “mushroom,” though the exact etymology remains uncertain. As a surname, Bambra/Bamrah also occurs in South Asia (notably among Punjabi families) and may refer to ancestral ties with villages called Bamra/Bambra; a related form, Bamra, names a former princely state in Odisha. These strands make Bambra a name of layered, place-based origin rather than a single lexical meaning.

Given-name use is modern and very rare, appearing chiefly in English-speaking countries from the late 20th century onward, often chosen for its soft rhythm and geographic or family connections. Variants and cognates include Bamra, Bamrah, Bambrah, and Bambera; informal nicknames such as Bam or Bambi sometimes occur.
