The word comes from Turkish ambar, meaning "storehouse, warehouse, repository",[1] from the Greek nautical term ἀμπάρι (ampari), meaning "stowage".[2] The word and the concept are used in Europe as far north as Hungary and the White Sea in Russia.
In Hebrew, the word אמבר (pronounced AMBAR) means a storage place for wheat. The word does not appear in the Bible.
