Meaning and origin of Ember
Ember is simply the English word for a small piece of burning coal or wood left in a dying fire, from Old English æmerge. As a given name it is a recent coinage, part of the trend for nature and word names. It also recalls the older 'Ember Days', four sets of fast days in the church calendar, though those take their name from a different Old English word meaning a period or cycle. Parents usually choose it for its warm imagery and its likeness to names such as Emma and Amber.
