ArchivesRe: Origin of Eban
in reply to a message by Oasis
In my research, Eban could be another spelling for Ebany which is an American name meaning "hard, dark wood". It's spiritual connotation is "shining". There is a scripture that matches it from John chapter 8 verse 12 "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life." Hope that helps.

The wood is Ebony, not Ebany. Ebon is a poetic alternative to Ebony, referring either to the wood or to the colour.
Can you please explain what you mean by "spiritual connotation" and "matching scriptures"?

Are you sure you want to encourage this drivel, by which black wood becomes a bright light without the benefit of matches?
Must say, my favourite scriptural wood will always be shittim - regardless of meaning!
