Ebiet is Indonesian in Origin.

Ebiet is a modern Indonesian-Malay given name and nickname, widely understood as a localized form of the Arabic Abid, meaning worshipper or devoted one. The shift from A- to E- and the -et ending reflect colloquial phonology and affectionate diminutive spelling in Indonesian usage. As such, Ebiet carries the devotional sense of its Arabic root, echoing qualities of piety, humility, and dedication.

Usage rose in the late 20th century, most visibly through the celebrated Indonesian singer-songwriter Ebiet G. Ade, after which the name occasionally appears on birth records across Indonesia and Malaysia. While primarily masculine, it can be unisex in modern contexts. Variants and related forms include Ebit (common), Abid/Abied, Abed, and the feminine Abida/Abidah; cognate surnames and minor variants such as Obeid or Ubaid share the same Semitic root. Parents seeking a gentle, contemporary sound with spiritual resonance may find Ebiet appealing.
