Ambrogio Origin and Meaning

Ambrogio is the Italian form of Ambrose, deriving from the Greek word 'ambrosios' meaning 'immortal' or 'divine'. In Greek mythology, ambrosia was the food of the gods that conferred longevity or immortality. The name carries significant historical weight through Saint Ambrose, a 4th-century Bishop of Milan and one of the four original doctors of the Catholic Church. While Ambrogio remains in use in Italy, particularly in northern regions, it's quite rare in English-speaking countries. The name has a rich, melodious quality with its Italian pronunciation and conveys both classical sophistication and religious significance. For parents seeking an Italian name with historical depth, Ambrogio offers considerable cultural resonance.
