Amber, in the French gem-name tradition.
The French name corresponds to English Amber, whose personal-name entry explicitly derives it from the amber word. The material is fossilized tree resin used in ornaments, so this account is more specific than a general jewel label. The word’s older ambergris history does not make ambergris the modern name’s meaning.
