MEANING & HISTORY
What does Ember mean?
Ember is an English word-name taken from the glowing remains of a fire. The word has an Old English ancestry, while its use as a given name is a later development.
The literal image is a small piece of still-burning fuel, not a separate ancient name meaning immortal flame. Warmth or persistence may be personal symbolic associations. They should be distinguished from the vocabulary meaning that supplies the name’s documented formation.
