Ebin is a rare American name that first appeared in U.S. Social Security data in 1978. Its usage peaked in 2009, and since then it has been falling in popularity, with no recent rank data available. The name is likely a variant of the Hebrew Eben, meaning 'stone', but its origin remains uncertain. Ebin has never been widely used and does not appear in any top states or notable cultural references.

Ebin is likely a variant of Eben, a Hebrew name derived from the word 'even' meaning 'stone'. Eben appears in the Old Testament as a place name (Eben-ezer) meaning 'stone of help'. The name Ebin emerged in the United States with very limited usage since the late 1970s, peaking in 2009.
