Dutch[edit]
Etymology[edit]
First attested as ambe in 1145, 1154 and 1165. Potentially derived from Proto-Celtic *Ambios (“a personal name”) or Proto-Germanic *Ambo (“a personal name”) suffixed with Gallo-Roman Latin -acum. Proposed derivations from Proto-Celtic *ambi (“enclosure”) or an Indo-European hydronym are unlikely. Formerly an independent village.
See also Limburgish Amie.
