Eb

Eb is a masculine name of Hebrew origin, likely a shortened form of Ebenezer, which means "stone of help" in Hebrew. This concise, one-syllable name has a straightforward, strong quality to it. Eb appears in literature as a character in Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" (the clerk who works with Scrooge's nephew Fred). The name has never been common in mainstream usage, remaining quite rare across English-speaking countries. Its brevity gives it a modern, minimalist appeal despite its ancient roots. Eb might also be used as a nickname for other names beginning with these letters, such as Ebony, Eberhard, or Ebrahim.

Pronounced EB.

As of October 2026, Eb ranked #4331 in US births in 1919 SSA.
