The surname Amberg is derived from a Germanic personal name composed of the elements 'land', which means 'land' or 'homeland', and 'berht', which means 'illustrious'. The earliest forms of hereditary surnames in France were the patronymic surnames, which are derived from the father's given name, and metronymic surnames, which are derived from the mother's given name.
Amberg from France originated in Dauphiny, a former province in southeastern France, where the family held a family seat since ancient times. By the 12th century, this family was quite important in the Dauphiné and had formed seven branches. They were present in various regions including Languedoc, Velay, and Switzerland....
