Etymology

First attested with certainty as gamberem in 1146. Derived from an ancient hydronym related to Proto-Germanic *gambra- (“strong, powerful”). A proposed derivation from Proto-Celtic *gamb-ara (“confluence of two watercourses”) is unlikely. A proposed compound derived from Old Dutch Gamhard (a personal name) or Gamher (a personal name) and heem (“home, settlement”) is incorrect.
