Ambrose
Everlasting, in Greek
Ambrose is a male given name of Greek origin meaning "immortal." It appears occasionally in English-speaking countries but has never been common.
Saint Ambrose was a fourth-century bishop of Milan, one of the early Church Fathers.
The name carries a classical, slightly old-fashioned quality: Ambrose was named after his great-grandfather.
