Shambre is English in Origin.

Shambre is a modern American given name, most plausibly formed by pairing the popular prefix Sha- with Ambre, the French form of Amber. Through French ambre and Old French ambre to Arabic anbar, the root points to the golden fossil resin prized as a gem. On that basis, the name is commonly interpreted as "amber," evoking honeyed warmth, preservation, and light.

Usage has been rare and largely U.S.-based since the late 20th century, aligning with creative African-American name-building patterns and broader trends for Sha- names. Spelling and stylistic variants include Shambree, Shambrey, Shambra, Shambré, and Shambre'. Related forms are Amber, Ambre, and the Italian Ambra. It is most often used for girls but can be read as unisex. The name's modern coinage means it carries no saintly calendar or royal associations, emphasizing individuality and contemporary style.
