A biblical name meaning 'stone of help,' famously associated with the character Ebenezer Scrooge from Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol.'
From Hebrew 'Eben-Ezer,' literally 'stone of help' ('eben' stone + 'ezer' help). In biblical context, it was a memorial stone set up to commemorate God's assistance in battle.
Before Dickens made Ebenezer synonymous with miserliness, it was actually a name celebrating divine assistance - the irony is that Scrooge's transformation back to generosity actually fulfills his name's original meaning of being a 'stone of help' to others.
