What is the origin of Ebenezer?
Ebenezer is used predominantly in the English language and its origin is Hebrew. Biblical name from the elements 'eben' meaning stone ; 'ezer' meaning help ; 'ebenhaezer' meaning stone of help. The first name is derived from a place name in the Bible. Ebenhaezer was the place where the prophet Samuel erected a memorial stone, calling it the same name, to celebrate the Israelites' victory over the Philistines; his words were 'hitherto hath the Lord helped us'. The name was consequently adopted by English Puritans in the 17th century, possibly in reference to the prophet's words. Subsequently, the appearance of the bitter and miserly character Ebenezer Scrooge in the Charles Dickens novella A Christmas Carol (1843) may have reduced the popularity of the name.
