Ebenezer

Ebenezer is a Hebrew name, directly translating to 'stone of help.' It originates from the Old Testament, specifically the book of 1 Samuel, where the prophet Samuel set up a stone between Mizpah and Shen after the Israelites defeated the Philistines, naming it Ebenezer to commemorate God's assistance. The name traveled into English-speaking cultures through biblical scholarship and Puritan naming practices in the 17th century.
