What is the meaning of the name Inbar ?

The baby name Inbar is a girl name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced in-BAR.

Inbar is Arabic, Hebrew in Origin.

Inbar is an Israeli Hebrew feminine name written ענבר. As a common noun, Hebrew inbar denotes amber, especially the yellow-brown fossil resin; the lexeme is generally traced to Arabic ʿanbar, whose earliest sense was ambergris, a fragrant marine substance, before its meaning broadened in medieval trade vocabularies to amber. Hebrew adopted the four-consonant form ayin-nun-bet-resh, vocalized inbar, with no native Hebrew verbal root behind it.

As a personal name, Inbar belongs mainly to modern Israeli naming, where nature words, colors, and materials entered the given-name stock alongside revived biblical names. It also appears as a Hebrew surname, often romanized Enbar. Bearers include Israeli actress Inbar Lavi, judoka Inbar Lanir, and singer-songwriter Inbar Bakal. Outside Israel it is uncommon; American records show only scattered use from the late twentieth century, overwhelmingly for girls.
