Amber is an acronym named after a real girl.

AMBER stands for America's Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response and was created as a legacy to 9-year-old Amber Hagerman, who was kidnapped while riding her bicycle in Arlington, TX, and then brutally murdered.

America’s Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response

Strange name for a child.
