Origin of Amble Total Records: 8  Origin of Amble, Meaning of Amble Origin: The norman name HAMO developed diminutive forms, E.G. Hem-el; Ham-el-in; Ham-el-ot; Ham-on-et. Hamo is derived from the old german Haimo or Haimi meaning ' house' or 'home'. Hamelot, Hamelin, Hamnet were all in general use and give rise to the surnames Hamlet(t), Ham(b)in, Hambley, Hamnet, etc., etc., Shakespear's only son was named HAMNET after one of his godfathers. His character HAMLET, Prince of Denmark bore a different name- the Icelandic AMLOTHI, which appears as AMLETH in Saxo and was turned by English translators into the more familiar HAMLET, HAMLETT, or even HAMNET. Legend has it that HAMLETT THE SALTMAKER arrived in this country from either Denmark or Holland. Cheshire, Northwich, Ellesmere Port, Delemere and Winsford being the main areas for the salt mines. From the General Register it will be found that the majority of HAMLETTs and with the variant spellings, still emerge from that part of the country.

Hamelin is still a common name in France, and is found among French Canadians. Several of the name are said to have gone in the army of William the Conqueror to England in 1066, and the name has since been common in England. Anciently spelled Hameline, a later form was Hamlyn, and other forms are found. Several of this name have come to America from England, with a few from Ireland and Scotland, and some from France. They settled in New England and the south; the name has been found in New Jersey, but that family is thought to be of New England descent.
