Ebon Origin and Meaning
The name Ebon is a boy's name.
Ebon is a masculine name derived from the English word 'ebony,' which refers to a dark, black wood and ultimately comes from Egyptian origins. With its short, strong sound, Ebon projects a powerful masculine image while maintaining a touch of elegance. The name carries associations with strength, rarity, and natural beauty. Though uncommon in mainstream usage, it gained some recognition in African-American communities during the late 20th century as part of a movement embracing names with African connections or meanings. Ebon's simplicity makes it accessible despite its rarity, and its connection to the natural world gives it an organic, substantive quality that many contemporary parents seek.
