Ebenezer is a Hebrew male given name meaning 'stone of the help,' sometimes abbreviated as Eben.
The name Ebenezer originates from Hebrew, meaning "stone of the help," a translation of the phrase Even ha-Ezer. It is occasionally shortened to Eben. While the name itself carries a biblical and historical resonance, its association with the fictional character Ebenezer Scrooge from Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" has, for many, imbued it with a negative connotation.
The name also appears in other contexts, notably as Eben-Ezer, a location identified in the Old Testament's Books of Samuel as the site of two significant battles. Additionally, the name gained a different kind of cultural recognition through "Ebeneezer Goode," a song released in 1992 by the musical group The Shamen.
