In 2025, 36 babies in England and Wales were named Ambrose. In the US, 96 were, though that figure is from 2017 — the most recent full year we hold. Its US peak was 209 in 1920.
Looking further back: between 1880 and 2008, Ambrose was most common in 1890, when it went to 0.03% of American babies of that sex. Squarely vintage-revival territory.
