      The name Ambler finds its origins in the English language and holds the intriguing meaning of Enameller or Walker. To uncover its historical roots, we must delve into the annals of time. In the early centuries, names were not inherited but rather adopted based on one's profession or personal qualities. Ambler, as a name, emerged in the Middle Ages when individuals who were skilled in the art of enameling or those who worked with enamel products were bestowed with this distinctive appellation. This craft, highly esteemed in medieval times, required great skill and precision, thus lending a sense of pride and exclusivity to those who bore the name Ambler.

      As the centuries rolled on, the occupation of enameler gradually diminished, leading to a decline in the prominence of the name. However, it found a new life in modern times as a name that pays homage to the ancestors who dedicated their lives to this meticulous craft. While no longer directly associated with the profession of enameling, Ambler serves as a lasting testament to the craftsmanship and expertise exhibited by those who came before. Today, the name is not as commonly heard as some other English names, but it still flourishes in certain parts of the world, standing as a reminder of a rich heritage rooted in skill and dedication.
