Origin and etymology of the name

Scholarly onomastic and linguistic analysis
Linguistic explanation and meaning

The name Ambrosius originates from a Greek word meaning "immortal" or "divine".

Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Ambrosius je latinizovaná podoba gréckeho osobného mena Ambrósios (Ἀμβρόσιος), odvodeného od prídavného mena ambrósios (ἀμβρόσιος) s významom „nesmrteľný, božský“. Súvisí s gréckym ámbrotos (ἄμβροτος), „nesmrteľný“, a brotós (βροτός), „smrteľný“. Latinčina sprostredkovala podobu mena, nepredstavuje však konkurenčný etymologický pôvod. Slovenským ekvivalentom je Ambróz.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Význam gréckeho základu: LSJ, heslo ἀμβρόσιος. Domáca podoba Ambro je doložená pri mene Ambróz: Lexika slovenských terénnych názvov, heslo AMBRO, s. 148; jej použitie pri podobe Ambrosius je analogické. Uvedená paradigma zodpovedá tradičnému skloňovaniu latinského mena s odsúvaním -us: Morfológia slovenského jazyka, časť Skloňovanie cudzích podstatných mien. Pri súčasnom nositeľovi sa môže uplatniť zachovanie -us: Ambrosiusa, Ambrosiusovi, Ambrosiusa, Ambrosiusovi, Ambrosiusom; rozlíšenie historických a súčasných mien vysvetľuje Kultúra slova 2018/1, Titus – Titusa. Historické údaje o svätcovi: Benedikt XVI., Svätý Ambróz Milánsky, 24. októbra 2007. Audit nie je stanoviskom JÚĽŠ SAV ani Milana Majtána.
