EBENEZER

Ebenezer: translation

Ebenezerm
English: originally the name (meaning ‘stone of help’ inHebrew) of a place mentioned in the Bible, where the Israelites were defeated by the Philistines (I Samuel 4:1). When they took their revenge Samuel set up a memorial stone with this same name (1 Samuel 7:12). It was taken up as a given name by the Puritans in the 17th century, possibly after being misread in the Bible as a personal name, or else because of its favourable etymological connotations. It now has unfavourable connotations because of the miserly character of Ebenezer Scrooge in Charles Dickens'sA Christmas Carol(1843)
