Ember, a hot-and-trendy word name in the United States, is derived from the Old English word æmerge, referring to a small piece of burning coal. It first appeared in the Social Security Administration's top 1,000 for girl names in 2009 and has now been a top-200 girl's name every year since 2019. "Little People, Big World" stars Jeremy Roloff and Audrey Roloff named their daughter Ember Jean in 2017, but some parents prefer to take the name one step further with Emberly and Emberlynn, both of which are consistently on the SSA's top 1,000.
