Etymology

From Middle Persian hmbʾl ‎(hambār, “store”), from Old Persian *𐏃𐎶𐎲𐎠𐎼 ‎(hambāra-), from Proto-Iranian *ham-bāra-, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *sam-bʰāra-, from Proto-Indo-European *sem- ‎(“together”) + *bʰer- ‎(“carry”). Cognate with Manichaean Middle Persian hmbʾr ‎(hambār), Manichaean Parthian ʾmbʾrg ‎(ambārag) (< *ʾmbʾr ‎(ambār)), Avestan 𐬵𐬅𐬨𐬠𐬀𐬭 ‎(hą̇̇mbar), and Sanskrit सम्भार ‎(sambhārá, “provision, necessaries, materials”). Akin to Old Armenian համբար ‎(hambar), ամբար ‎(ambar), Classical Syriac ܐܡܒܪܐ ‎(ʾambārāʾ), Jewish Babylonian Aramaic אמברא ‎(ʾambārāʾ), Hebrew אַמְבָּר ‎(ʾambār); Iranian borrowings.
