The baby name Eben is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈiːbən/ (EE-ben) or /ˈɛbən/ (EB-en).
Eben is Hebrew in Origin.
Eben is an English given name of Hebrew origin, a clipped form of Ebenezer. Ebenezer derives from the biblical Eben‑Ezer, “stone of help” (1 Samuel 7:12), the memorial Samuel raised after victory. Through the King James Bible, Puritans and other Nonconformists favored Ebenezer in the 17th–18th centuries; the shorter Eben became a familiar everyday form, particularly in colonial New England, and later remained in use in South Africa among Afrikaans and English speakers.
Variants and related forms include Ebenezer (full), Ebeneser/Ebenezar (regional spellings), and Amharic Abenezer; nicknames include Eb and Ebbie. As a standalone, Eben is typically read as “stone,” while still evoking the broader sense of divine help and remembrance. Its brisk, vintage profile makes it both traditional and contemporary.
