Background Story
Ambrose comes from the Late Latin name Ambrosius, derived from the Greek Ambrosios, meaning "immortal". Saint Ambrose, a 4th-century theologian and bishop of Milan, is the reason the name came into general use in Christian Europe, though it was never particularly common in England. It is used in Ancient Greek, Croatian, Czech, Dutch, French, Georgian, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian and Slovene.
