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!

Just to clear it up, Eban is definitely a Jewish name, and it is translated as "stone". Even if it is derived from the name Ebenezer (stone/rock of help) which is biblical by the way, Eban still has the same meaning.
