History & Origin

Amberle builds on Amber, whose warmth comes from the fossil resin worn as jewelry, and adds a lilting ending. It appears in United States records from the early 1980s, riding the broad popularity of Amber in that decade.

It never caught widely, given to only a couple dozen girls a year around its mid-eighties high. A girl named Amberle then is in her forties now, from the era when Amber and its spin-offs were fashionable.

Did you know? Fantasy readers may recognize it: Amberle Elessedil is a central elf character in Terry Brooks' Elfstones of Shannara, which likely nudged a few parents toward the spelling.
