Ambrose Family History
Ambrose Name Meaning
English: from the English form of the medieval personal name, Latin
Ambrosius, from Greek ambrosios ‘immortal’, which was
popular throughout Christendom in medieval Europe. Its popularity was
due in part to the fame of St. Ambrose (c.340–397), one of
the four Latin Fathers of the Church, the teacher of St. Augustine. In
North America this surname has absorbed Dutch Ambroos and
probably other cognates from other European languages. (For forms, see
Hanks and Hodges 1988.
