Ebonezer is Hebrew in Origin.
Ebonezer is a modern phonetic spelling of Ebenezer, a masculine given name from the Hebrew phrase Even ha-Ezer meaning "stone of help," combining even "stone" and ezer "help, aid." In the Bible (1 Samuel 7:12), the prophet Samuel sets up a memorial stone and names it Eben-ezer, marking divine assistance; this event gives the name its enduring devotional sense.
Adopted by English-speaking Puritans in the 17th century and carried to colonial New England, the name later entered wider awareness through Charles Dickens's character Ebenezer Scrooge, without changing its core meaning. Today, spellings such as Ebonezer appear in African and Caribbean Christian communities and the diaspora, reinforced by the hymn line "Here I raise mine Ebenezer." Established variants include Ebenezer (standard), Eben-Ezer (biblical form), and rare Welsh Ebeneser; diminutives and short forms include Eben, Ebbie, and Ben.
