Gens Ambrosia was one of the original gentes in Nova Roma. Its early members are therefore patrician. When its founder Lucian Ambrosius Neptunius left Nova Roma in April 2751 a.u.c., Merlinia Ambrosia Artoria became materfamilias.

Ambrosius is derived from the Greek name Αμβροσιος (Ambrosios) meaning "immortal." It was a common Roman cognomen. St. Ambrose, Archbishop of Milan (c340-397) was born at Trier, where his father Aurelius Ambrosius was Præfectus of Gallia Narbonensis.

The nomen Ambrosius is documented in the Late Empire. Ambrosius Theodosius Macrobius (395-423) was a Roman grammarian and Neoplatonist philosopher who flourished during the reigns of Honorius and Arcadius. As usual for this period, his prænomen is not known. He tells us that he was not a Roman, but no evidence about his origin survives.
