ambler Name Meaning and History

English (Yorkshire): from Middle English ambler ‘walker’, ‘steady-paced horse or mule’ (ultimately from Latin ambulare ‘to walk’), probably applied to someone with a steady, easy-going temperament. Reaney suggests that it may have been a facetious nickname for a fuller.
